According to the current European medicines legislation, on the labeling is mandatory a warning contraindicating for hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) patients medicines with oral or parenteral fructose and sorbitol, and oral sucrose, invert sugar, isomaltitol, lactitol and maltitol, but parenteral sucrose is not mentioned. Intravenous administration of sucrose does not increase blood glucose concentrations, because sucrose is poorly oxidized to CO and mainly excreted in the urine as a disaccharide; absence of enzimatic activity outside the gut explains why there is not a warning for parenteral sucrose presentations. For this reason, parenteral drugs with sucrose are allowed in HFI patients.

In the letter, Urro et al. performed a search on the sucrose, fructose and sorbitol content in the approved Sars-Cov-2 vaccines and they concluded that these vaccines can be safely administered in adults affected by Hereditary fructose intolerance.The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is currently approved for use in adolescents ≥ 12 years and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is close to approval for use in children over 12 years of age.
