Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Medications
Key Information
- The Purpose: It is natural to wonder why you need tablets if you do not feel unwell. These medications are not for treating symptoms you feel today. They act as a shield for your kidneys and heart against future strain.
- How Common Medications Work:
- Reducing Wear and Tear: Blood pressure medication lowers the pressure inside your kidneys and helps reduce further damage.
- Vessel Protection: Statins help protect your blood vessels from the build-up of cholesterol.
What Happens Next?
These medications are an important investment in your future. For that protection to work, they need to be taken every day, exactly as prescribed.
If you have questions or think you may be experiencing side effects, please do not stop taking them suddenly. Stopping can leave you unprotected. Instead, contact us so we can help find a solution.
