PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

Indications

  • Prevention and therapy of damages due to faulty or deficient protein metabolism in chronic renal insufficiency in connection with limited protein in food of < 40 g/day (for adults); generally in patients with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 25 mL/min.

Dosage

  • Adults (70 kg body weight): 4 – 8 tablets 3 times a day during meals.
  • Keamine are given as long as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is < 25 mL/min and a diet with an intake of maximum 40 g protein/day is followed.

Usage

  • Keamine is administered orally. Tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed or chewed.
  • Hypercalcaemia, disturbed amino acid metabolism.
  • In case of hereditary phenylketonuria it has to be taken into account that Keamine contains phenylalanine.
  • Pregnancy and paediatric.
  • Hypercalcaemia may develop. In this case, it is recommended to decrease vitamin D intake. If the hypercalcaemia persists, reduce the dosage of Keamine as well as any other source of calcium.
  • Keamine should be taken during meals to allow proper absorption and metabolism into the corresponding amino acids. The serum calcium level should be monitored regularly.
  • Ensure the sufficient supply with calories for the patients.
  • Pregnancy and lactation.
  • Patients should be aware of how they react to drug before driving or operating machinery.
