Description
Ketosteril Coated Tablets №100
Ingredients
Each Ketosteril coated tablet contains a combination of essential amino acids and calcium. The main active ingredients are Methionine, Phenylalanine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Threonine, Tryptophan, and Histidine.
Mechanism of Action
Ketosteril works by providing essential amino acids that are crucial for protein synthesis and maintaining nitrogen balance in patients with chronic kidney disease. Methionine helps in detoxification processes, while other amino acids support various metabolic functions.
Pharmacological Properties
The essential amino acids in Ketosteril play a vital role in protein metabolism and help reduce the accumulation of uremic toxins in patients with impaired kidney function. Calcium in the formulation contributes to bone health and acid-base balance.
Indications for Use
Ketosteril is indicated for the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and related conditions. It helps improve nitrogen balance, reduce uremic symptoms, and slow the progression of renal failure.
Contraindications
Ketosteril should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. It is contraindicated in severe liver disease, metabolic disorders, hypercalcemia, and during pregnancy and lactation due to potential risks to the fetus or newborn.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Ketosteril may include gastrointestinal discomfort, hypersensitivity reactions, and metabolic imbalances. Rarely, high doses of Methionine can lead to hyperhomocysteinemia or exacerbate existing cardiovascular conditions.
Usage Instructions
- Take the tablets with meals to enhance absorption.
- Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
- If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered. If close to the next dose, skip the missed one.
- Do not double dose to make up for a missed one.
Benefits Compared to Analogues
Ketosteril offers a comprehensive blend of essential amino acids specifically designed for patients with CKD, providing targeted nutritional support to manage uremic symptoms and slow disease progression. Compared to standard protein supplements, Ketosteril offers a balanced formulation with reduced phosphorus content, making it suitable for renal patients.
Suitable Patient Groups
Ketosteril is suitable for adult patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly those undergoing conservative management or dialysis. It is not recommended for children unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare professional. Elderly patients may benefit from the nutritional support provided by Ketosteril to maintain muscle mass and prevent malnutrition.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store Ketosteril in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tablets in their original packaging to protect them from moisture. Check the expiration date on the packaging and do not use the product after it has expired.
Packaging Description
