Tolevamer is a toxin binding polymer that was investigated by Genzyme for the treatment of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea (CDAD).
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of hospital-acquired diarrhoea, affecting about 300,000 patients in the U.S. alone. CDAD typically occurs after treatment with antibiotics which disrupt the gut flora , allowing C. difficile to proliferate in the gut and release enterotoxins which lead to diarrhoea. CDAD is usually treated with the antibiotics vancomycin , metronidazole or both. This therapy yields good results but has the disadvantage of further disrupting the flora. [ 1 ]
