Ammonia is very toxic when it circulates in blood and tissues and can cause permanent brain damage, coma, or death.

Glycerol phenylbutyrate helps prevent a build-up of ammonia in the blood in people with urea cycle disorder. glycerol phenylbutyrate is used in adults and children who are at least 2 months old. Glycerol phenylbutyrate will not treat hyperammonemia.
