What is Cystadane?

Cystadane works by preventing the build-up of an amino acid called homocysteine. This amino acid can harm blood vessels and contribute to heart disease, stroke, or circulation problems.

Cystadane is used to reduce homocysteine levels in people with a genetic condition called homocystinuria, in which the amino acid builds up in the body. This medicine is not a cure for homocysteinuria.

Cystadane may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

How should I use Cystadane

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

Cystadane is a powder medicine that must be mixed with a liquid before using it.

Gently shake the powder medicine bottle before measuring your dose. To get the correct dose, use the measuring scoop provided with Cystadane.

Mix Cystadane powder with 4 to 6 ounces of water, juice, milk, infant formula, or soft food. Swallow the mixture right away without chewing. Do not save for later use.

Cystadane doses are based on weight in young children. Your child's dose needs may change if the child gains or loses weight.

You may need frequent blood tests.

Cystadane is only part of a complete program of treatment that may also include other vitamin and mineral supplements and a special diet. Follow your diet and medication routines very closely.

Store Cystadane powder at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
