Tableta de ketosteril

Introducción

Ketosteril Tablet is a prescription medication designed to support individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It provides essential amino acids and keto-analogues to help maintain protein nutrition while minimizing uremic toxins. This supports kidney function and slows CKD progression when combined with a low-protein diet.

By reducing nitrogen waste and supporting protein needs, Ketosteril helps improve nutritional status, ease uremia symptoms, and lower the risk of CKD complications. Most users tolerate it well, with mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or gastrointestinal discomfort. Proper medical supervision ensures safe and effective use.

Indicaciones generales

Ketosteril is mainly prescribed for adults with advanced CKD (stages 3–5) not yet on dialysis. It aids in maintaining protein nutrition, delaying the need for dialysis, managing malnutrition, alleviating uremia symptoms, and preserving residual kidney function. By providing essential amino acid precursors without increasing nitrogen load, it helps maintain metabolic balance.

How to Take Ketosteril

Take Ketosteril exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Swallow tablets whole with meals—do not chew or break. Consistency is important; take it at the same times daily. Use alongside a low-protein diet tailored by a doctor or nutritionist, and maintain hydration unless otherwise instructed.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If it’s near the next dose, skip the missed one. Never double up. Regular monitoring of kidney function is recommended to adjust dosage as needed.

Información de dosificación

Ketosteril is available in 600 mg film-coated tablets. Adults typically take 4–8 tablets three times daily with meals. Total daily dose may range from 20–40 tablets depending on CKD stage, dietary intake, kidney function, body weight, and other treatments. Dosage must always be determined by a qualified medical professional. Do not self-adjust.
