Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Cystadane (Betaine Anhydrous) is a medication prescribed to manage homocystinuria, a rare genetic disorder characterized by high levels of homocysteine in the blood and urine. The medication works by decreasing these elevated homocysteine levels. Cystadane comes in a powder form, which is mixed with water and taken orally.

Dissolve the Cystadane powder in 4 to 6 ounces (120 to 180 mL) of water, juice, milk, or formula. You may also mix the powder with food. The appropriate dosage depends on the patient's medical condition and response to treatment, and only the doctor can set the exact amount. A typical dosage may be 6 grams per day taken as 3 grams twice daily.
It's important for patients to use the scoop provided to ensure they are taking the correct dosage. Administer the solution immediately after mixing to ensure proper intake. Follow your doctor’s instructions closely to maintain the treatment routine.

There are no contraindications listed on the drug label. However, Avoid taking or using this medication if you have a known hypersensitivity to Betaine Anhydrous or any component of the formulation.
Cystadane oral powder side effects may include nausea, discomfort in the stomach, and diarrhea. Some patients might notice a bad taste or odor from the medication, and a few have reported minor psychological changes. There’s also a rare report of a patient accidentally inhaling the powder.
