Amversio

Amversio is a medicine used to treat homocystinuria, an inherited disease where the amino acid homocysteine cannot be broken down and therefore builds up in the body. This causes a wide range of symptoms, including impaired vision, weak bones and circulatory problems. It is used with other treatments, such as vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cobalamin), folate and a special diet. Amversio is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Amversio contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Cystadane. Amversio contains the active substance betaine anhydrous.
