Problems associated with medications taken by renal patients
A
t first we need to present and clarify the renal failure patient and what is his condition and how these conditions is
dealt with, as our topic actually is about problems related to managing the kidney patient problems or complications.
An END STAGE RENAL FALIER PATIENT is a one who is suffering electrolyte imbalance in form of: Low calcium,
taking supplements like 500 mg tablets 3 times a day and suffering from anaemia taking 5 tablets of folic acid once
daily. MULTI VITAMINS FOR : Iron, vitamin B suffering from high blood pressure so at least taking one type of anti
hypertensive medications (sometimes with malignant hypertension) high doses of several types of anti-hypertensive
medications are prescribed (may reach 230/130 ). Also the patient on dialysis in continuous stress causing stress ulcer
together with uraemia causing gastritis. Both of which recommend good management alternating between proton pump
inhibitors and antacids to avoid aluminium hydroxide protective coating as it is not eliminated by on dialysis active
vitamin D (HYDROXYCALCIFEROL). For calcium metabolism (absorption and bone deposition), other less common
medications pain killers for: Itching body aches. Antibiotics for secondary infections and catheter related infections so in
general a patient may take between 5-8 tablets 3 times daily. That’s why we are here to talk about
HOWTO MAKE PILLS FOR (ESRF) PATIENT EASIER TO SWALLOW

Big tablets as calcium could be made chewable
2.
Gastric medications should be combined and given as effervescence
3.
Specific multi vitamin formulas for ESRF patients
4.
