CARNITOR (levocarnitine) is a naturally occurring carnitine analog that facilitates long-chain fatty acid entry into mitochondria for energy production. It is indicated for primary and secondary carnitine deficiency, including inborn errors of metabolism such as glutaric aciduria II, methylmalonic aciduria, propionic acidemia, and medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. The drug works by promoting excretion of toxic acylCoA compounds that accumulate in these metabolic disorders, preventing life-threatening acidosis.
