Treatment with Nitisinone should be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the treatment of HT-1. Nitisinone is used for the treatment of hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1), in addition to limiting the amount of tyrosine and phenylalanine in the diet. Nitisinone stops the build-up of toxic substances which cause the severe liver and kidney problems in patients with HT-1. By doing that, it also prevents the porphyric crises associated with HT-1.
Dietary intake of tyrosine and phenylalanine must be restricted during Nitisinone therapy. It is recommended that a dietician skilled in managing patients with inborn errors of metabolism be consulted to design a low-protein diet restricted in tyrosine and phenylalanine.
