2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each gram of granules contains 940 mg of sodium phenylbutyrate.
Excipient(s) with known effect
One small spoon of AMMONAPS granules contains 6.5 mmol (149 mg) of sodium.
One medium sized spoon of AMMONAPS granules contains 17.7 mmol (408 mg) of sodium.
One large spoon of AMMONAPS granules contains 52.2 mmol (1200 mg) of sodium.
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
AMMONAPS granulesThis medicinal products contain 124 mg (5.4 mmol) of sodium per gram of sodium phenylbutyrate, equivalent to 6% of the WHO recommended maximum daily intake for sodium.
The maximum recommended daily dose of this product contains 2.5 g sodium which is equivalent to 124% of the WHO recommended maximum daily intake for sodium.
AMMONAPS is considered high in sodium. This should be particularly taken into account for those on a low salt diet.
AMMONAPS should therefore be used with caution in patients with congestive heart failure or severe renal insufficiency, and in clinical conditions where there is sodium retention with oedema.
Since the metabolism and excretion of sodium phenylbutyrate involves the liver and kidneys, AMMONAPS should be used with caution in patients with hepatic or renal insufficiency.
Serum potassium should be monitored during therapy since renal excretion of phenylacetylglutamine may induce a urinary loss of potassium.
Even on therapy, acute hyperammonaemic encephalopathy may occur in a number of patients.
AMMONAPS is not recommended for the management of acute hyperammonaemia, which is a medical emergency.
