Kuvan is a synthetic form of a natural salt that contributes to the function of a certain enzyme in the body. In people with a condition called phenylketonuria (PKU), this enzyme is lacking or missing in the body. Without the enzyme, phenylalanine levels can become elevated and cause a variety of neurologic symptoms.
Kuvan is used to help the body activate the enzyme needed to control blood levels of phenylalanine. Kuvan is used in people with PKU.
