Sapropterin (applies to sapropterin) liver impairment
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Liver Disease
Patients with liver impairment have not been evaluated in clinical trials with sapropterin. Hepatic damage has been associated in patients with impaired phenylalanine metabolism. Caution and monitoring is advised in patients with liver impairment who are receiving treatment with sapropterin.
Sapropterin (applies to sapropterin) neurological disorders
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Neurologic Disorder
A 10-year sapropterin postmarketing-marketing safety surveillance program for a non-phenylketonuria indication, showed that a few patients with underlying neurological disorders experienced seizures, exacerbation of seizures, over-stimulation, and irritability especially when coadministered with levodopa. Patients with neurological disorders, especially those receiving levodopa should be monitored for changes in neurological status during treatment with sapropterin.
