CARNITOR (levocarnitine) is a naturally occurring carnitine analog that facilitates long-chain fatty acid entry into cellular mitochondria for energy production. It is used to treat 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 clearing toxic acylCoA compounds through formation of acylcarnitine, which is rapidly excreted, preventing life-threatening acidosis.
