Overview

Cholic acid is a bile acid that is FDA approved for the treatment of patients with bile acid synthesis disorders due to single enzyme defects (SEDs) and as an adjunctive treatment of peroxisomal disorders (PDs) including Zellweger spectrum disorders in patients who exhibit manifestations of liver disease, steatorrhea or complications from decreased fat soluble vitamin absorption. Common adverse reactions include diarrhea, reflux esophagitis, malaise, jaundice, skin lesion, nausea, abdominal pain, intestinal polyp , urinary tract infection, and peripheral neuropathy (≥1%).

Adult Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)

Indications

Bile Acid Synthesis Disorders due to Single Enzyme Defects

Cholic acid is indicated for the treatment of bile acid synthesis disorders due to single enzyme defects (SEDs).

Peroxisomal Disorders Including Zellweger Spectrum Disorders

Cholic acid is indicated for adjunctive treatment of peroxisomal disorders (PDs) including Zellweger spectrum disorders in patients who exhibit manifestations of liver disease, steatorrhea or complications from decreased fat soluble vitamin absorption.

Limitation of Use The safety and effectiveness of cholic acid on extrahepatic manifestations of bile acid synthesis disorders due to SEDs or PDs including Zellweger spectrum disorders have not been established.

Dosage

Dosage Regimen for Bile Acid Synthesis Disorders due to Single Enzyme Defects and Peroxisomal Disorders including Zellweger Spectrum Disorders

The recommended dosage of cholic acid is 10 to 15 mg/kg administered orally once daily, or in two divided doses, in pediatric patients and in adults.

Tables 1 and 2 show the number of capsules that should be administered daily to approximate a 10 mg/kg/day and 15 mg/kg/day dosage, respectively, using the available 50 mg and 250 mg capsules alone or in combination.

Table 2: Number of cholic acid capsules Needed to Achieve a Recommended Dosage of 15 mg/kg/day

Patients with newly diagnosed, or a family history of, familial hypertriglyceridemia may have poor absorption of cholic acid from the intestine and require a 10% increase in the recommended dosage to account for losses due to malabsorption. The recommended dosage of cholic acid in patients with concomitant familial hypertriglyceridemia is 11 to 17 mg/kg orally once daily, or in two divided doses. Adequacy of the dosage regimen can be determined by monitoring of patients' clinical response including steatorrhea, and laboratory values including transaminases, bilirubin and PT/INR.
