About Maapliv
Maapliv is a prescription medicine used to treat maple syrup urine disease.
What it is used for
Maapliv is used to treat maple syrup urine disease.
How it is used
Maapliv can only be obtained with a prescription, and treatment should be started under the supervision of a doctor experienced in managing maple syrup urine disease. The medicine is given as an infusion (drip) into a vein until the leucine levels have returned to normal. In patients who have severe or critical worsening of disease and very high levels of leucine, treatment with Maapliv may not be enough to lower the leucine levels and they may need other treatments like haemodialysis or haemofiltration (procedures to remove waste products from the blood).
How it works
Maapliv consists of a solution of amino acids, but with no BCAAs. When Maapliv is given to the patient, the body uses the amino acids to make proteins, together with the excess BCAAs that have built up because of the sudden disease worsening. This lowers the level of BCAAs in the body, thereby reducing their toxic effect.
Active substance: amino acids
