About Oxemia 25 Tablet
Oxemia 25 Tablet is used to treat anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients receiving dialysis or not. Anaemia is a condition that arises when your blood produces fewer healthy red blood cells than usual.
Oxemia 25 Tablet contains Desidustat, which works by stimulating the body's natural production of erythropoietin; this, in turn, promotes the production of red blood cells.
In some cases, Oxemia 25 Tablet may cause side effects, including fever, vomiting, abnormal weakness, and peripheral oedema (swelling of your lower legs or hands). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.
Before taking Oxemia 25 Tablet, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using, including supplements and herbal products. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

FAQs
Oxemia 25 Tablet is used to treat anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Oxemia 25 Tablet contains Desidustat, which works by stimulating the body's natural production of erythropoietin; this, in turn, promotes the production of red blood cells.
People who do not acquire enough iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid to create healthy red blood cells are more likely to develop anaemia. Excessive alcohol use increases your risk of anaemia.
Eating foods like red meat, beans, and peas can be beneficial if one has vitamin deficiency anaemia. In addition, items like dry fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, and seafood can supply the necessary vitamins and minerals.
Yes, Oxemia 25 Tablet may cause Peripheral oedema (swelling of your lower legs or hands). If symptoms persist or bother you, reach out to the doctor immediately.
The side effects of Oxemia 25 Tablet include vomiting, fever, abnormal physical weakness and peripheral oedema (swelling of your lower legs or hands). If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Chronic kidney disease, or CKD, is an irreversible and progressive loss of kidney function. As a result, the body retains excess waste or toxins which may lead to other health problems. The symptoms include swelling of legs, shortness of breath, swelling around the eyes, weight loss, fatigue (overtiredness), decreased urine output, nausea or vomiting, especially in the morning or after eating, loss of appetite and trouble sleeping.
Your doctor may recommend a blood test to determine whether you have kidney disease. The test measures the amount of creatinine (waste product) in your blood. The doctor will use the blood test results, your gender, age, weight, and ethnic group to calculate how many millilitres of waste your kidneys should be able to filter in a minute. This calculation is known as your eGFR or estimated glomerular filtration rate. Healthy kidneys should be able to filter more than 90 mL/min. If your rate is lower than this, you may have kidney disease.
If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney failure, you are more likely to develop kidney disease. If you have risk factors, it is advisable to get examined for kidney disease and protect your kidneys by changing your diet, lifestyle and controlling your blood glucose levels and blood pressure.
Your kidneys make erythropoietin (EPO), an important hormone that instructs your body to produce red blood cells. Kidneys fail to make enough EPO in case of kidney disease. Low EPO levels decreases red blood cell count resulting in anemia.
The risk for anemia increases when kidney disease worsens. People with CKD who also have diabetes are at a greater risk for developing anemia, likely to develop anemia earlier, and often have more severe anemia than those without diabetes. In addition, anemia with CKD is more common in people aged over 60 years.
Some of the symptoms of anemia in patients with CKD include dizziness, pale skin, fatigue (overtiredness), headache, shortness of breath, body pain, and irregular or fast heartbeats.
In patients with CKD, severe anemia can increase the risk of heart problems and strokes due to low oxygen levels in the body, which results from the decreasing level of red blood cells in the body.
