Oxemia 100 Tablet 6

Oxemia 100 Tablet is used for the following:

• Managing anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease in adult patients

• Improving red blood cell production in patients both on dialysis and those not dependent on dialysis

• Stabilising the body's natural erythropoietin (EPO) production and iron metabolism in chronic kidney disease patients

Here's how to take Oxemia 100 Tablet:

• Thoroughly follow the dosage and duration guidelines provided by your doctor for taking this medicine.

• Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

• Avoid discontinuing this medication without your doctor's advice. Always consult your doctor before stopping.

• Adhere to the diet plan recommended by your doctor.

Oxemia 100 Tablet is taken orally.

Oxemia 100 Tablet contains desidustat (100 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Stabilises HIF-α: Desidustat works by blocking enzymes that usually degrade HIF-α subunits under normal oxygen conditions. By stabilising HIF-α, it mimics a state of cellular hypoxia.

• Triggers HIF-mediated gene transcription: The stabilisation of HIF-α triggers the transcription of genes involved in erythropoiesis, iron metabolism, and oxygen delivery to tissues.

• Increases endogenous EPO production: By triggering HIF-mediated gene transcription, desidustat effectively increases the production of EPO within the body.

• Enhances iron absorption and mobilisation: The increase in EPO production enhances iron absorption and mobilisation, ultimately correcting anaemia.

• Store Oxemia 100 Tablet in a cool, dry place, ideally at a temperature below 25°C.

• Shield it from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Keep the medicine securely in its original packaging until you need to take it.

• Ensure it's out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before taking the medicine.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in iron to support red blood cell production. Foods such as spinach, lentils, and lean meat can be beneficial.

• Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water can help manage symptoms like fatigue associated with anaemia, which is often seen in chronic kidney disease patients.
