Prevention and therapy of damages due to faulty or deficient protein metabolism in chronic renal insufficiency in connection with limited protein food of 40 g/day (for adults). Adults (70 kg/body weight): 4-8 tablets 3 times daily during meals. Administration: For oral use. Tablets may be taken during meals; should be swallowed whole. Duration of Use: Ketolog tablets are given as long as the GFR is between 5 and about 15 mL/min. Simultaneously for adults, food should contain 40 g/day of protein ie, generally in patients with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 5 and about 15 mL/min. May be taken with or without food. Hypercalcemia, disturbed amino acid metabolism. In case of hereditary phenylketonuria, it has to be taken into account that Ketolog contains phenylalanine. Ketolog should be taken during meals to allow proper absorption and metabolism into the corresponding amino acids. The serum calcium levels should be monitored regularly. Ensure the sufficient supply with calories. Use in pregnancy: No experience has been made so far with the application in

Click to view ADR Monitoring Form Simultaneous administration of medicaments containing calcium (eg, acetolyte) may lead to pathological increases of the serum calcium level or intensification. As the uremic symptoms improve under Ketolog, a possible administration of aluminum hydroxide should be reduced. Pay attention to a reduction of serum phosphate. Do not take drugs together with Ketolog that form sparingly soluble compounds with calcium (eg, tetracyclines) in order not to interfere with absorption. Store at temperatures not exceeding 30C. Keep in a cool and dry place. Shelf-Life: 24 months. Each tablet of Ketolog contains: Calcium-4-methyl-2-oxo-valerate (ketoanalogues to leucine, calcium salt) 101 mg, calcium-3-methyl-2-oxo-butyrate (-ketoanalogues to valine, calcium salt) 86 mg, calcium-2-oxo-3phenylpropionate (-ketoanalogues to phenylalanine, calcium salt) 68 mg, calcium-3-methyl-2-oxo-valerate (-ketoanalogues to isoleucine, calcium salt) 67 mg, calcium-DL-2-hydroxy-4 (methylthio) butyrate (-hydroxyanalogue to methionine, calcium salt) 59 mg, L-lysine-acetate USP 105 mg, L-threonine USP 53 mg, L-histidine USP 38 mg, L-tyrosine USP 30 mg, L-tryptophan USP 23 mg, total nitrogen content 36 mg, calcium 1.25 mmol equivalent to 0.05 g.

Description

Mechanism of Action Pharmacokinetics: The plasma kinetics of amino acids and their integration in metabolic pathways are well established. It should nevertheless be noted that, in uremic patients, the plasma disturbances do not seem to depend on digested amino acid intake, and that the post-absorptive kinetics seems to be distributed very early in the development of the disease. In normal individuals, there is an increase in the plasma level of ketoanalogues, 10 min after oral ingestion. These levels reach values that are approximately 5 times higher than the initial level. Peak levels are reached within 20-60 min and normal levels are reached again after 90 min. Gastrointestinal absorption is thus very rapid. In the plasma a simultaneous increase in levels of the ketoanalogue and the corresponding amino acid show that transamination of the ketoanalogues are very rapid. Due to natural pathways of disposal of -ketonic acids in the organism, it is probable that exogenous intakes are very rapidly integrated into metabolic cycles. Ketoacids follow the same catabolic pathways as the classical amino acids. No specific study on ketoacid excretion has been performed to date.

Indication & Dosage

Intravenous Acute hypovolaemic shock Adult: Initially, 25 g of albumin, adjusted according to patient's response. Usual rates of infusion: Up to 5 ml/minute (5% solution) or 1-2 ml/minute (20% solution). Child: Up to 1 g/kg, adjusted according to patient's response. Usual rates of infusion: Up to 5 ml/minute (5% solution) or 1-2 ml/minute (20% solution). Intravenous Hypoproteinaemia Adult: Up to 2 g/kg daily. Usual rates of infusion: Up to 5 ml/minute (5% solution) or 1-2 ml/minute (20% solution). Intravenous Neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia Child: 1 g/kg of albumin before exchange transfusion. Usual rates of infusion: Up to 5 ml/minute (5% solution) or 1-2 ml/minute (20% solution). Incompatibility: Dilution with water will produce a hypo-osmolar solution that may cause severe haemolysis and renal failure. Y-site admin: Midazolam, vancomycin, verapamil. Admixture: Verapamil.

Contraindications Special Precautions

Cardiac failure, severe anaemia, history of hypersensitivity, parenteral nutrition. Hypertension or low cardiac reserve; additional fluids for dehydrated patients. Monitor for signs of cardiac overload in injured or postoperative patients. May carry risk of viral transmission. Volume admin and rate of infusion must always be individualised according to situation and response. Pregnancy, lactation. Allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, increased salivation, fever and chills; vascular overload, haemodilution and pulmonary oedema. Potentially Fatal: Anaphylactic shock.

Lab Interference Pregnancy Category (US FDA)

Category C: Either studies in animals have revealed adverse effects on the foetus (teratogenic or embryocidal or other) and there are no controlled studies in women or studies in women and animals are not available. Drugs should be given only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus. Storage Mechanism of Action Intravenous: Store below 30C. Do not freeze. Human albumin increases intravascular oncotic pressure and causes movement of fluids from interstitial into intravascular space. Human albumin solutions are available in various concentrations. Solutions containing 5% human albumin are usually used in hypovolemic patients, whereas more concentrated 25% solutions are recommended in patients in whom fluid and sodium intake must be minimised e.g. patients with hypoproteinaemia or cerebral oedema or in paediatric patients.

J05AF05 - lamivudine ; Belongs to the class of nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibito viral infections.

Pharmacology Indication For the treatment of HIV infection and chronic hepatitis B (HBV).

Pharmacodynamics

Lamivudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) with activity against Hum Type 1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis B (HBV). Lamivudine is phosphorylated to active metabolites into viral DNA. They inhibit the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme competitively and act a synthesis. The lack of a 3'-OH group in the incorporated nucleoside analogue prevents th phosphodiester linkage essential for DNA chain elongation, and therefore, the viral DNA g

Mechanism of action

Lamivudine is a synthetic nucleoside analogue and is phosphorylated intracellularly to its metabolite, lamivudine triphosphate (L-TP). This nucleoside analogue is incorporated into transcriptase and HBV polymerase, resulting in DNA chain termination.
