Ketocell Tablet

Ketocell Tablet contains Ketoanalogues of Essential Amino Acids, a kidney diet supplement. Made by Cell Laboratories Ltd, it is prescribed for chronic kidney disease (with a low-protein diet). Pack size: 100 tablets.

Uses of Ketocell Tablet

Ketocell Tablet is used together with a low-protein or very low-protein diet in people with chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. It helps maintain good protein nutrition while protein intake is restricted, which reduces the build-up of waste products in the blood. It should be used under the guidance of a kidney specialist and dietitian.

How Ketocell Tablet works

Ketoanalogues are amino acids without their nitrogen group. The body adds nitrogen from its own waste products to turn them into essential amino acids, so the patient gets the protein building blocks they need while producing less urea for the kidneys to clear.

Possible side effects

Ketocell Tablet is usually well tolerated. Possible side effects include:

• High blood calcium levels
• Nausea
• Stomach discomfort
• Constipation

Contact your doctor if you have signs of high calcium, such as confusion, muscle weakness, excessive thirst, constipation or nausea.

Precautions and warnings

• Your blood calcium will be checked regularly, as the tablets contain calcium.
• Do not take it if you have high calcium levels or phenylketonuria.
• It can bind certain medicines such as tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, iron and some others, so ask your pharmacist about spacing them apart.
• Use it with dietitian advice, as it only works properly with the right diet.
