What is NITYR?

NITYR is Here for You, for Life

NITYR is an FDA-approved tablet indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with Tyrosinemia Type 1 (HT-1) in combination with dietary restriction of tyrosine and phenylalanine.

We know that supporting people with rare diseases is about more than just the medicine. That’s why we created Cycle Vita, delivering individualized product support* with NITYR, every step of the way.

More and more people with HT-1 and their caregivers are discovering the independence NITYR can bring to their nitisinone medicine.

Designed with convenience in mind, NITYR may give patients and their caregivers one less thing to worry about with the flexibility and freedom that has enabled 100% of the patients who have transitioned to NITYR to not voluntarily return to Orfadin** (nitisinone).1
