“We make medicines available to doctors »
“The nephrologist, in treating kidney disease, uses certain drugs to alleviate the patient’s problems. And among these drugs, there are antihypertensives. And we are a laboratory trained in this field. We make these drugs available to doctors so that they can prescribe them to hypertensive patients. This will regulate their blood pressure. It is important to know that high blood pressure is one of the causes of renal failure. So if you have poorly controlled hypertension, it will inevitably have an impact on the kidneys of the patients. In the normal case, a normal patient with high blood pressure should be below 140 over 90. When it’s more than what I said, you have to put it on anti-hypertension treatment as a drug. This can be monotherapy or dual therapy. We provide these options to prevent the patient from reaching renal disease. But if they do, there are other therapies that are appropriate for that. When you prescribe a dose to the patient, and they don’t stick to it, their blood pressure will not be controlled and they are exposed to complications. In particular, renal complications, since we are in nephrology.
