Ketoanalogues Ketosteril (Top voted first)

Updated

ketosteril was prescribed by my doctor in treatment of suspected kidney failure. The drug is very expensive here in the philippines, is there any substitute for Ketosteril 600 which is much cheaper?

KETOSTERIL? appears to be manufactured by Fresenius Kabi and contain:

" - Calcium 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid (a-ketoanalogue of isoleucine, Ca-salt) 67 mg
- Calcium-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid (a-ketoanalogue of leucine, Ca-salt) 101 mg
- Calcium-2-oxo-3-phenylpropionic acid (a-ketoanalogue of phenylalanine, Ca-salt) 86 mg
- Calcium-3-methyl-2-oxobutyric acid (a-ketoanalogue of valine, Ca-salt) 68 mg
- Calcium-DL-2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)-butyric acid (a-hydroxyanalogue ofmethionine) 59mg
- Ca-salt 105 mg
- L-lysine acetate (= L-lysine 75 mg) 53 mg
- L-threonine 23 mg
- L-tryptophan 38 mg
- L-histidine 30 mg
- L-tyrosine "

It is indicated for 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 per day (for adults) and less.

You can read more details about this on the manufacturer's product page. I hope this helps!

its very essential because ketosteril is the one replacing lost protein content in your kidney. thus, preventing the shrinking or renal hypertrophy.

Hi.I came from Fresenius Kabi before & I was marketing ketosteril before I got promoted as a Product Specialist.Now I owned my owned drug distribution company which still carries ketosteril because it was proven to be the only effective ketoanalogue in the market that slows down the progression of renal failure.Price was always the concerned of all patients including our target nephrologist doctor but there was no other choice.Time came Ketobest(by Goodfellow)came in & arrived here in the Philippines which is a cheaper one which can be sell at 29.16/tab compared to ketosteril 39.51/tab so my target nephrologist doctors made a trial to their patients & it had exactly the same therapeutic effect w/ the innovator without the after taste of the tablet which lowers down the creatinine level of patients thereby slows down the progression of the renal failure. Now all of my nephrologist doctors were dispensing "Ketobest".

Base on doctors feedback & patient compliance is that ketolog (1)has no clinical studies on the therapeutic effect of their ketoanalogues (2)has an "after taste" (3)even the color of the tablet try to see the difference & compare.This is base on the trials done to several patients & decided to prescribed ketobest as their choice.

Yes, there is an option to expensive ketoanalogues. It is at least 3 Liters of fluids a day for women and 4 Liters of water for men. Dietary measures related to the provoking illness is mandatory as well as keeping your blood sugar and blood pressure under control

It takes discipline taking 3 Liters of water daily. It is not fun waking up 3 times at night to use the bathroom. But if dialysis is the eventuallity, it is worth all the sacrifice.

Ketoanalogues are necessary when ketones are elevated in your blood. This is common with severe Insulin dependent diabetics or hypertensives with circulation Problems (leg swelling or lungs and liver are swollen with fluids). These patients usually have shortness of breath. Their lungs try to eliminate the excess acids in the blood which their kidneys can no longer eliminate. So the lungs try its best to eliminate the acids from Body waste.

Each Patient of course is individually treated. Major consideration will be your creatinine Levels and sugar Levels.

I know a Patient personally in the Philippines who had creatinine of 1.5 and was prescribed ketoanalogue and renal vitamins. She doled 5000 Pesos monthly on both not including her BP meds. I advised her the 3 Basic things I advise you now: 3 Liters of liquids daily, dietary measures and control of her BP.

I told her to discontinue the ketoanalogue and buy Papaya and banana instead of renal vit.

After a month she had repeat labs. Her creatinine had normalized to 1.1

I wish you the improvement from my advice

yes i know there are generic ketoanalouge in the
Philippines today, two to be exact.
ask your doctor about medicines first before buying them.
Ask them, is it bioequivalent? is it adequately tested?
does it have any published trials? or just a mere copied molecule.
I am a health care provider. Weigh the benefits first
because kidney disease is a delicate and complicated disease,
you can not compromise the safety of patients just because it is more affordable.
Lives are to precious to be wasted on wrong decisions.

2 generic ketoanalogues are much cheaper but they dont have clinical studies and bioequivalence, this means that they still dont have enough evidences that this two drugs are effective in treating renal failure, we dont know if there are side effects. we shouldn't compromise health over affordability. stick to your trusted brand.

One reason why ketosteril or ketoanalogue is not readily available in the US because medical doctors specializing nephrologist preferred their patients with renal failure to go to dialysis rather than taking ketoanalogues to slow down the progression of renal failure because dialysis session in US is free.

i dont think so. product mo yan eh malamang yan ang sasabihin mo para mabili ang product mo.why dont you try it yourself before u judge.FYI a lot of NEPHRLOLOGIST were not satisfied on prescribing KETOBEST in their patients bec it has no clinical studies and was made in CHINA, base on physicians, those medicines that came from china were not that effective, ketobest were not launched in the market. for many physicians, KETOLOG became their first choice in prescribing because of its low cost and has same effect with the innovator.i have one client who is a doctor and he is also using ketolog. and so far he is satisfied with our brand KETOLOG.

All our dispensing doctors shift to ketobest from ketosteril.As a Drug Distributor we still carry ketosteril bec there are still old patients maintaining this but we are promoting ketobest bec of its therapeutic effect similar to ketosteril base on patient trial done by our top & KOL nephrologist doctor.This is the reason why we are very confident that ketobest will monopolize the ketoanalogue market soon bec it is the best alternative & the cheapest ketoanalogue."This is base on doctors experience"Try it!!!
