WHAT IS DOJOLVI?

DOJOLVI is a prescription medicine used to treat long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD) in children and adults.

How does DOJOLVI work?

  • DOJOLVI provides an alternate source of energy. It is a synthetic medium odd-chain 7-carbon triglyceride (C7).
  • DOJOLVI bypasses the enzyme deficiencies that cause LC-FAOD to provide a source of calories and fatty acids that can be converted to energy.

Talk to your healthcare team to learn more about DOJOLVI.

WHAT ARE LC-FAOD?

Long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD) are rare inherited disorders that prevent the body from breaking down long-chain fatty acids into energy during metabolism.

People living with LC-FAOD have difficulty producing enough energy because of their body’s inability to use long-chain fatty acids as an energy source during times of:

  • Fasting
  • Illness
  • Prolonged exercise

If you or your loved one are living with one of the different types of LC-FAOD, DOJOLVI may provide an alternative source of energy. Ask your healthcare team if DOJOLVI is right for you.

WORKING WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE TEAM

Patients treated with DOJOLVI should work with a team of clinical specialists, such as metabolic doctors, dietitians, and nurse practitioners. Your healthcare team may:

  • Start your dose slowly, beginning with a low dose of DOJOLVI and then increasing it over time to help you avoid side effects
  • Manage your diet, checking in regularly and providing you with nutritional plans based on your specific needs

Important: Stop taking any other medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) products before you begin DOJOLVI.
