The correct way to purchase generic drugs of Kerendia

There are many ways to purchase generic drugs, but in order to ensure the quality and safety of the drugs, patients should choose formal channels to purchase. The following are some common purchasing channels:

Hospital Pharmacy

Many large hospital pharmacies will stock generic versions of fenelidone, and patients can purchase them directly at the hospital pharmacy under the guidance of a doctor. This method is not only convenient and fast, but also ensures the quality and legality of the source of the medicine.

Online pharmacies

With the development of the Internet, more and more well-known online pharmacies have begun to provide sales services of generic fenelidone drugs. These platforms usually provide detailed drug information and user reviews to facilitate patient selection. However, patients need to verify the qualifications and credibility of the website before purchasing to ensure that the source of the medicine is reliable.

Medical service institutions

For cases where generic nonelidone drugs are unavailable in certain areas, patients can purchase them through medical service institutions, which usually provide global distribution services to ensure that the drugs can be delivered to patients safely and quickly. When choosing a medical service provider, patients should confirm their qualifications and credibility to avoid purchasing fake and shoddy drugs.

Prices of generic versions of Kerendia

The prices of generic versions of Kerendia vary depending on the drug version, exchange rate changes and purchase channels.

The export price of Fenelidone (Keshenda) produced by Bayer in Germany to Japan is about US$179 per box, and the specification of a box is 10mg*100 tablets. The price of the Laos Lucius version of Fenelidone (Keshenda) is about US$19, with a box of 10mg*30 tablets. Fenelidone drug prices also vary by region, hospital and pharmacy.

Usage and dosage of Kerendia

The dosage of generic Kerendia needs to be determined according to the patient's specific condition and the doctor's advice. Here are some basic dosage guidelines:

Starting Dosage

The recommended starting dose of fenelidone is based on the patient's glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). For patients with eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m², the starting dose is 20 mg orally once daily. For patients with an eGFR between 25 and 60 mL/min/1.73m², the starting dose is 10 mg orally once daily. For patients with eGFR<25mL/min/1.73m², this product is not recommended.

Dose Adjustment

The dose of fenelinone may need to be adjusted based on the patient's serum potassium level and clinical response. Four weeks after initiating treatment, patients should have serum potassium levels measured and dosage adjusted as needed. If serum potassium levels are too high, fenelidone may need to be withheld and restarted when serum potassium levels fall to a safe range.

Fenelidone may interact with other drugs, and patients should inform their doctor about other drugs they are taking before using it. In addition, fenelidone may cause increases in serum potassium levels, so patients should avoid taking potassium supplements at the same time.
