The primary treatment for minimizing galactitol toxicity is a galactose-restricted diet. By reducing the intake of galactose, the production of galactitol can be minimized. This dietary management is crucial in preventing the accumulation of galactitol and the associated toxic effects. In some experimental approaches, enzyme replacement or gene therapy is being explored to correct the underlying metabolic defect. However, these treatments are still in the research phase and not widely available.
