Important Safety Information

Indication and Usage

NITYR® (nitisinone) Tablets are a competitive inhibitor of 4-hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1) in combination with dietary restriction of tyrosine and phenylalanine.

Important Safety Information

Do not take NITYR if you are allergic to nitisinone or any other ingredients. Tell your healthcare professional about any health problems, and if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant and/or breastfeeding, before starting treatment.

Warnings and Precautions

Increased levels of plasma tyrosine, eye symptoms, developmental delay and skin changes:

Inadequate restriction of tyrosine and phenylalanine intake can result in elevations of plasma tyrosine.

Plasma tyrosine levels above 500 micromol/L may lead to ocular signs and symptoms including corneal ulcers, corneal opacities, keratitis, conjunctivitis, eye pain, and photophobia, intellectual disability and developmental delay or painful hyperkeratotic plaques (thickening of the skin) on the soles and palms.

Your healthcare provider should not adjust NITYR dosage in order to lower the levels of tyrosine in the blood.

Your healthcare provider will obtain a slit-lamp examination prior to initiating NITYR treatment, regularly during treatment and may reexamine you if you develop symptoms or if your tyrosine levels are above 500 micromol/L.

Changes in blood profile

You may develop leukopenia (reduction in the number of white blood cells, which form part of the immune system) and severe thrombocytopenia (abnormally low levels of platelets, which help the blood to clot).

Your healthcare provider will monitor platelet and white blood cell counts, and will adjust your medication accordingly.

Adverse reactions

The most common adverse reactions (≥1%) in patients with HT-1 taking nitisinone are elevated tyrosine levels, low platelets (thrombocytopenia) or white cells in the blood (leukopenia), and complaints related to the eyes, including conjunctivitis, corneal opacity, inflammation of the cornea, eye pain and extreme sensitivity to light (photophobia), nosebleed (epistaxis), itching (pruritus), skin inflammation (exfoliative dermatitis), rash (maculopapular rash), dry skin and alopecia.

If you have a question about your dosage, or if you experience any of the symptoms explained above, please speak to your healthcare provider.

Keep NITYR and all medicines out of reach of children.
