Dosing overview

Assess metabolic requirements by determining daily caloric intake (DCI) prior to calculating the dose of DOJOLVI. For patients receiving another medium-chain triglyceride product, discontinue prior to the first dose of DOJOLVI. The recommended target daily dosage of DOJOLVI is up to 35% of the patient's total prescribed DCI divided into at least four doses and mixed thoroughly into semi-solid food/liquid or medical food/formula at mealtimes or with snacks. See the full prescribing information for instructions on how to calculate the volume per dose, initiate and titrate the dosage to achieve the target, and prepare and administer DOJOLVI.

Avoid administration of DOJOLVI in patients with pancreatic insufficiency.

Interactions

Pancreatic Lipase Inhibitors: Avoid co-administration due to potential for reduced clinical effect of DOJOLVI. Pancreatic Lipase Inhibitors Co-administration of triheptanoin with a pancreatic lipase inhibitor (e.g., orlistat) may reduce exposure to the triheptanoin metabolite, heptanoate, and reduce the clinical effect of triheptanoin. Avoid co-administration of DOJOLVI with pancreatic lipase inhibitors.
