Cysteamine Bitartrate is a medication primarily used to treat cystinosis, a rare genetic disorder that leads to the accumulation of cystine in cells. This accumulation can cause damage to various organs, particularly the kidneys and eyes. Cysteamine works by reducing cystine levels, helping to prevent complications associated with the disease. The drug is typically taken orally and is available in both capsule and liquid forms. Patients using Cysteamine Bitartrate may experience side effects, including gastrointestinal issues and a strong odor. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals is essential to ensure effective treatment and manage any adverse effects.
