Is Zertec Safe To Take While Suffering From Kidney Disease?
Question: Can taking Zertec for a Alergic reaction to eye meds hinder person with stage 3 C DKD
Brief Answer:
the dose might have to be reduced
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
the dosage for patients with renal disease depends on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). For GFR equal or above 50mL/min 10mg per day (the normal dosage) can be given. For GFR between 30-50mL/min 5mg is preferred. Patients with stage 4 (15-29mL/min) may take 5mg every 2 days. Patients with end stage renal disease should not take it at all!
Kind Regards!
