• Generic Name: sodium benzoate / sodium phenylacetate

• Other Brand Names: Ammonul

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.

Ammonia is formed from the breakdown of protein in the body. If the ammonia cannot be removed by the body, then a build up may cause serious unwanted effects.

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