What is Sucraid®?
Sucraid® is the only FDA-approved drug for the treatment of genetically sucrase deficiency, which is part of Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID). Sucraid® is an enzyme replacement therapy, providing a substitute for the sucrase enzyme in the small intestine that is missing or not working in people who have CSID. CSID may also be called a form of Sucrose Intolerance, carbohydrate malabsorption or intolerance or Genetic Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (GSID).
