Ketosteril Tablet is used in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who follow a strictly low-protein diet, to help meet their nutritional needs. It is a combination medicine containing keto-analogues of amino acids and essential amino acids, and belongs to the class of nutritional supplements.
This medicine supplies essential amino acids while reducing the build-up of nitrogen waste in the blood, which helps ease the workload of the kidneys. Swallow the tablets whole with meals as prescribed, and do not crush or chew them. Use the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor.
Dietary management is the cornerstone of treatment alongside this medicine. Follow the low-protein, high-calorie diet prescribed by your renal specialist, and work closely with your renal dietitian to keep a balanced diet that meets your calorie needs.
Tell your doctor if you have high blood calcium levels (hypercalcaemia) or take calcium supplements before starting this medicine, and about any other medicines, supplements or herbal products you use. Speak to your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Attend regular laboratory monitoring of your blood calcium, phosphate and kidney function. Report any side effects that persist or become serious. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
