In clinical trials, 81% of patients became asymptomatic with Sucraid®.2*

*Patients who took Sucraid® with each meal were considered asymptomatic if they reported no GI symptoms for at least 7 of the 10 study days.2

How Sucraid® Works

Sucraid®: The mechanism of action.

The active ingredient in Sucraid® is sacrosidase, which is a sucrase enzyme replacement. It splits sucrose into glucose and fructose, which facilitates absorption of both into the bloodstream from the small intestine.1 Although Sucraid® provides replacement therapy for the deficient sucrase, it does not provide specific replacement therapy for the deficient isomaltase.

Dosage Information

Recommended dosage of Sucraid®.

Each dose should be diluted in 4 ounces of water, milk, or infant formula, and can be measured with the provided 1-mL measuring scoop.1

1 mL (8,500 IU; one full measuring scoop) per meal or snack for infants, toddlers, and small children weighing up to 15 kg (33 lb)1

2 mL (17,000 IU; two full measuring scoops) per meal or snack for older children and adults weighing over 15 kg (33 lb)1

  • Half of each Sucraid® dose should be taken before a meal and the other half during a meal.1
  • The beverage or infant formula used to dilute Sucraid® should not be heated, nor should Sucraid® be added to hot beverages, as heat can decrease the potency of the enzyme.1
  • Sucraid® should not be reconstituted or consumed with fruit juices as the acidity may impair enzyme activity.1
  • Sucraid® should be refrigerated at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) and protected from heat and light.1
  • Bottles of Sucraid® should be discarded four weeks after first opening due to the potential for bacterial growth.1

[Now] I can eat more and not experience symptoms, so I don’t dislike eating. [CSID] is a disease that can be tested for, and can be managed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:

Important Safety Information for Sucraid® (sacrosidase) Oral Solution

  • Do not prescribe Sucraid® to patients known to be hypersensitive to yeast, yeast products, papain, or glycerin (glycerol).
  • Sucraid® may cause a serious allergic reaction. Patients should stop taking Sucraid® and get emergency help immediately if any of the following side effects occur: difficulty breathing, wheezing, or swelling of the face. Care should be taken when administering initial doses of Sucraid® to observe any signs of acute hypersensitivity reaction.
  • Although Sucraid® provides replacement therapy for the deficient sucrase, it does not provide specific replacement therapy for the deficient isomaltase.
  • Adverse reactions as a result of taking Sucraid® may include worse abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, difficulty sleeping, headache, nervousness, and dehydration.
  • Before prescribing Sucraid® to diabetic patients, the physician should consider that Sucraid® will enable sucrose hydrolysis and the absorption of those hydrolysis products, glucose and fructose.
  • The effects of Sucraid® have not been evaluated in patients with secondary (acquired) disaccharidase deficiency.
  • DO NOT HEAT SOLUTIONS CONTAINING SUCRAID®. Do not put Sucraid® in warm or hot fluids. Do not reconstitute or consume Sucraid® with fruit juice since the acidity of the juice may reduce the enzyme activity of Sucraid®. Half of the reconstituted Sucraid® should be taken at the beginning of the meal or snack and the other half during the meal or snack.
  • Sucraid® should be refrigerated at 36°F-46°F (2°C-8°C) and should be protected from heat and light; single-use containers can be removed from refrigeration and stored at 59°F-77°F (15°C-25°C) for up to 3 days (72 hours). Refer to Instructions for Use for full information on how to take Sucraid®.
