PYRUKYND (mitapivat sulfate)
Pyrukynd treats hemolytic anemia in adult patients who have pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency. It is used for those suffering from the chronic breakdown of red blood cells caused by this specific enzyme mutation. By addressing the underlying enzyme activity, it helps patients manage the symptoms and complications associated with the condition.
How PYRUKYND Works
Pyrukynd works by binding to the pyruvate kinase enzyme and increasing its activity within red blood cells. This process helps restore levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which are typically low in patients with this deficiency. By boosting ATP, the drug helps extend the lifespan of red blood cells and reduces chronic hemolysis.
