nephrovite ## I am a renal dietitian and was wondering if I could get NephroVite samples for the patients. Also, I was wanting to order a quantity of vitamins to have on hand for patients needing to buy vitamins. ## Sorry, this site does not supply or sell medications here, this is an informational website only.

Is Nephrovite the same as Nephro-vitamins? It the doctor just assuming that -vite is short for vitamins: ## What is the alternate medicine of Nevro-Vitamin4 ## what is the function of Encephabol-200mg ## No, your doctor does know what they are talking about. Nephro-Vita is a vitamin B complex supplement. This is used to treat various conditions, including deficiencies in these vital nutrients. I am not sure what country you are in, so you should ask your doctor or pharmacist if there is an acceptable alternative available. ## There isn't a lot of information available on Encephabol, but it contains the active ingredient Pyrithioxine and is used to treat both Alzheimers and Senile Dementia. I found some information from a study here: SpringerLink Click Here Did you have any other que...

My creatinine level is in the range of 2 to 2.3 in the last 4 years and my serum urea level is around 55.. I have been taking Nephrosave tabs.

My brother (who has been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome) has been taking tacromus and omnacortil along with some other medicine as prescribed by his super specialist kidney doctor since 2011. However, his condition has been unpredictable. Recently, without informing his doctor we let him stop his medication and gave him our local herbal juice & amazingly his monthly test result showed a better result than it did during his time on medication. In the next appointment/consultation, his doctor lowered the dose of medicine & we still didn't disclose about it... Since one cannot just ignore doctors who are life savers and specialize in the field, my question here is, should we still rely on my brother's doctor advice? Could I have some of your valuable inputs please? ## Ab...

I am 67 .I have hyppertnsion for the past 25 years .iam using amlopressat and asa.My blood presure is under control.i have swelling in legs,my serum creatinine is 2.can i use nephrosave.If so howlong ## YES. THE SWELLING IN THE LEGS ARE DUE TO AN INCREASE IN CREATININE LEVELS AND THIS SWELLING IS REDUCED ALONG WITH REDUCTION IN CREATININE ALSO- WITH HERBAL -TRADITIONAL MEDICINES FROM SOUTH INDIA. ## GOPAL, what medication did your doctor instruct you take? Such swelling is not always due to elevated creatinine, thus improper treatment could put you at risk of experiencing a dangerous health emergency, such as a stroke, heart attack, or congestive heart failure. According to FDA reports, this is a chance that the swelling could be due to the Amlopres AT, your diet, or lack of proper exer...

I had a high normal level, my Nephrology she did not tell this. It was on some of the medical papers that she gave me what does that mean. ## Hi Pauline, From what I understand, nephrology deals with kidney function and the treatment of various kidney problems. However you weren't really clear at all on what specific "levels" you might've been referring to? So I'm naturally a bit confused on how to even begin addressing your questions & concerns regarding this. Would you please take some time to post back with more information on what it really is that you're describing as "high normal levels" in 'something'? Thanks! ## I am sorry I take Pot Cl Micro 20mg. I was trying to find find did that have anything to do with it. ## Thanks for posting ba...
