Radiaura
Radiaura (sodium phenylbutyrate) is a therapeutic agent used primarily for the treatment of urea cycle disorders. It functions as an ammonia scavenger, helping to reduce elevated ammonia levels in the blood, which can occur in individuals with deficiencies in enzymes that process nitrogen. By converting ammonia into a less toxic form, Radiaura aids in preventing the toxic effects associated with hyperammonemia.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Radiaura Work?
- Binding to ammonia: Sodium phenylbutyrate is converted in the body to phenylacetate, which then binds to ammonia, forming phenylacetylglutamine. This compound is safely excreted in urine, thereby reducing blood ammonia levels.
Common Dosages
- Tablets: Common strengths include 250 mg.
- Granules: Available in strengths that allow for flexible dosing.
Typical Dosing
- The recommended dosage varies based on the patient’s specific condition and ammonia levels, often starting with 10-20 grams per day divided into multiple doses. Adjustments are made according to clinical response and laboratory results.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Management of chronic hyperammonemia due to urea cycle disorders.
Who Shouldn't Take Radiaura?
- Known hypersensitivity to sodium phenylbutyrate or any components of the formulation.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Instruct patients to take Radiaura as directed, and to ensure they are adequately hydrated, as this medication can lead to increased urination.
