Sacrosidase
Sucraid is a brand-name enzyme replacement therapy containing sacrosidase, used to treat congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID), a rare genetic disorder where the body lacks the enzymes needed to break down sucrose (table sugar) and sometimes starch. It is taken orally with each meal to help digest sugars that the body cannot process on its own.
Sucraid provides the enzyme sucrase that people with congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency are missing, allowing them to digest sucrose and starch.

Sucraid is indicated for the treatment of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID), a rare inherited condition where the small intestine lacks sufficient sucrase and isomaltase enzymes needed to break down certain sugars.
Sucraid contains sacrosidase, an enzyme that replaces the missing natural sucrase in the digestive system. The enzyme works in the gastrointestinal tract to hydrolyze (break down) sucrose into its simpler sugar components that can be absorbed and used by the body for energy.
Sucraid is a brand-name medication with no generic equivalent available. It must be stored refrigerated and is typically taken with each meal or snack. Patients should follow their healthcare provider's dietary recommendations alongside medication use. As with any enzyme product, there is a potential risk of allergic reaction, and patients should discuss their full medical history with their doctor before starting treatment.
