Kidney Disease Medicine

Renhold tablet is a nutrient supplement with an active ingredient called Alpha Ketoanalogue. It belongs to the class of medicine called amino acids. It is given along with a protein-restricted diet to delay the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It reduces uraemic symptoms (caused by the accumulation of nitrogenous waste compounds normally eliminated by the kidneys), improves nutritional status, and reduces metabolic complications in CKD patients. It works by lowering urea levels in the bloodstream and slowing down the advancement of kidney disease, thereby delaying the need for long-term dialysis. Do not consume Renhold tablet if you are allergic to Alpha Ketoanalogue or any of its ingredients. Avoid consuming this medicine if you have hypercalcemia (high level of calcium) or abnormal heartbeats; because the administration of this medicine may cause increased calcium levels in the blood and irregular heartbeats. During treatment, your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring of your serum calcium levels. Notifying your doctor if you are pregnant and breastfeeding before taking this medicine.

Bimatoprost & Timolol eye drops are a combination medication primarily used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure inside the eye). Here's a breakdown of what they do: 🔹 Primary Uses Open-Angle Glaucoma Lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) to help prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss. Ocular Hypertension Reduces pressure inside the eye when it's higher than normal but not yet causing glaucoma. 🔹 How They Work Bimatoprost (a prostaglandin analog): Increases the outflow of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye), reducing pressure. Timolol (a beta-blocker): Decreases the production of aqueous humor, also helping to lower intraocular pressure. Together, they effectively reduce eye pressure more than either one alone.

Carodyl contains the most widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug – Carprofen. Carprofen works by inhibiting an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX). This results in lower production of a substance called prostaglandins. By reducing prostaglandin levels, carprofen helps to control pain. Carprofen is a preferential COX 2 inhibitor, with higher ratio of COX 2 to COX 1 inhibition. This is associated with good pain control (analgesic property) with minimal risk of side effects associated with COX 1 inhibition (minimal risk of bleeding). Carodyl Is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and for the control of post-operative pain associated with soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries in dogs.

Gatipred belongs to a group of medications called ‘Antibiotics and Corticosteroids’ used to treat bacterial eye infections or eye discomfort, especially in patients who have undergone eye surgeries. It also decreases the risk of eye infections such as conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) and other inflammatory conditions of the eye (cornea, iris, and connective tissue) in postoperative patients. Gatipred is a combination of two medicines: Gatifloxacin and Prednisolone. Gatipred is an antibiotic that acts by interfering with the formation of essential proteins required for bacterial growth. Prednisolone is a steroid that reduces inflammation and symptoms associated with infection such as redness and irritation. It works by inhibiting the chemicals such as prostaglandins that cause inflammation. Gatifloxacin+prednisolone is available for external use only. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Gatipred are application site reactions such as redness, burning or stinging sensation, watery eyes, and blurred vision. These side-effects are mild and temporary. It may also cause inflammation of the cornea (clear outer layer of the eye), which is a serious side-effect and may cause vision problems. If any of these side-effects persist, consult your doctor immediately. Inform your doctor before using Gatipred if you have allergic reactions to medicines, tuberculosis, damaged cornea, ulcers in the eye, eye infection and producing pus, open lesions in the eye and glaucoma (a condition where the pressure inside the eye is increased). Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Gatipred. This medicine may cause temporary blurred vision; hence drive only when you are alert and have clear vision.

Paracan IV is an intravenous (IV) injection that contains paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen). It's commonly used for: 1. Pain Relief: • Post-operative pain: Helps manage pain following surgeries. • Headaches: Effective for treating mild to moderate headaches. • Muscle and joint pain: Used for muscle strains, back pain, or arthritis pain. • Other pain types: Such as toothaches, menstrual cramps, and nerve pain. 2. Fever Reduction: • Paracan IV is used to reduce fever in cases of infections, inflammation, or after surgical procedures. How It Works: Paracan IV works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins (chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation). This provides both pain relief (analgesic effect) and fever reduction (antipyretic effect). Administration: Paracan IV is given through an intravenous (IV) line, typically in a hospital or clinical setting. The dosage depends on the patient's condition, but it's commonly administered when oral medication is not an option. Side Effects: While generally safe when used as directed, it can cause side effects, such as: • Headaches • Nausea or vomiting • Injection site reactions (pain, redness, or swelling) If you experience severe allergic reactions (e.g., difficulty breathing, swelling), immediate medical attention is required. Precautions: Before use, inform your healthcare provider if you have: • Liver or kidney disease • Alcohol use disorder • Allergies to paracetamol or any components of the injection Always use under medical supervision, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
