Ammonul (sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate combination) is used to treat a condition caused by too much ammonia in the blood (hyperammonemia). Ammonul works by causing less ammonia to be produced by the body.

Ammonul may cause nausea and vomiting. An anti-nausea medicine may be used during administration.
