Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Let me address the problems one by one
Constipation in patients with kidney disease is quite common, there are so many constituent reasons for it, but as I went through your medications list one by one, Calcium channel blockers do cause constipation is many patients, as Embeta - AM contains Amlodipine it may cause it.
Secondly consult your doctor and discuss with him regarding control of hypertension, if patient is having kidney disease we do not advice losartan as it may worsen the disease or may cause threatening hyperglycemia and even cardace do cause the same things.
There are many drugs available which acts centrally and considered quite safe in renal impaired patients, so discuss with your doctor once.
Multivitamin tablets may contain some of the microvitamins and minerals like selenium and zinc which do cause constipation.
If water intake is less than the normal then it is also a cause for constipation as in renal impaired patients water intake will be advised less so review with your doctor once regarding this
Advice to take lot of fiber XXXXXXX food such as outer skin of fruits, green leafs and vegetables. Lactulose solution is considered safe in renal impaired patients, please discuss with your doctor once.
Hope this information is helpful
Thanks
