Uses

Citrate de Bétaïne Cristers is a methyl group donor used for the treatment of homocystinuria to decrease elevated homocysteine blood levels.

Citrate de Bétaïne Cristers is indicated for the treatment of homocystinuria to decrease elevated homocysteine blood levels. Included within the category of homocystinuria are deficiencies or defects in: 1. cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), 2. 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), 3. cobalamin cofactor metabolism (cbl).

Citrate de Bétaïne Cristers is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Homocystinuria

How Citrate de Bétaïne Cristers works

Citrate de Bétaïne Cristers acts as a methyl group donor in the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine in patients with homocystinuria.

Toxicity

In an acute toxicology study in rats, death frequently occurred at doses equal to or greater than 10,000 mg/kg.

Food Interaction

  • Take with or without food. Oral betaine powder should be mixed with food or a beverage and then consumed.

Volume of Distribution

V/F = 1.3 l/kg

Elimination Route

After a single oral dose of betaine (50 mg/kg), absorption was rapid (tmax = 0.9 ± 0.3 hours and a Cmax = 0.9 ± 0.2 mM).

Half Life

14 hours

Clearance

84 ml/h/kg
