What is Daybue?

Daybue is a prescription medicine used to treat a rare, genetic neurological disorder called Rett syndrome.

Daybue contains trofinetide, a synthetic version of a naturally occurring molecule known as the tripeptide glycine-proline-glutamate (GPE). The exact way by which Daybue works to treat Rett syndrome is not known, but it is thought to reduce inflammation and support synaptic function in the central nervous system.

What is Daybue used to treat?

Daybue is used to treat Rett syndrome in adults and children 2 years of age and older.

Rett syndrome is a rare, neurological disorder caused by mutations on the X chromosome on a gene called MECP2. It occurs primarily in females with symptoms usually presenting between six to 18 months of age.

Rett syndrome causes problems in brain function. Children with Rett syndrome experience loss of fine motor skills, impaired gross motor skills, and loss of communication skills (including eye contact). Symptoms may also include seizures, disorganized breathing patterns, scoliosis, and sleep disturbances.

It is not known if this medicine is safe and effective in children under 2 years of age.

How should I take Daybue

Daybue is usually taken twice daily, morning and evening, with or without food. Take the medicine exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to take it.

If you take laxatives, stop taking them before starting treatment.

Your healthcare provider may change your dose or stop treatment if needed.

Your pharmacist should provide an oral syringe or dosing cup that is needed to measure your prescribed dose. Do not use a household measuring cup.

Daybue oral solution may be taken by mouth or given through a gastrostomy (G) tube. If the oral solution is given through a gastrojujenal (GJ) tube, the G-port must be used.

Throw away any unused oral solution after 14 days of first opening the bottle.

If you vomit after taking a dose, do not take another dose to make up for that dose. Wait and take the next dose at your usual time.

If you miss a dose, skip that dose and take your next dose at your usual time. Do not take 2 doses to make up the missed dose.
