As you may know, the PAH enzyme breaks down Phe. Some oral PKU medicines try to help the PAH enzyme work better. However, these medicines may not work for people who have very little or no PAH enzyme.<\/p>\n

Whether you have classical or non-classical PKU, treatments that substitute for the PAH enzyme can work to lower Phe levels.<\/strong><\/h4>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
