Hi lolls29,

In the first instance you need to check with his GP or nephrologist about medications that are safe to use in CKD. However, check out this information on the Kidney Research Charity about medications: kidneyresearchuk.org/health...?

Hope this helps.

Keep in touch,

Paracetamol (Hedex ®, Panadol ® ) is safe and suitable to treat headaches. The maximum dose of paracetamol is 4grams (eight 500mg tablets) in any 24 hour period. Co-codamol, co-proxamol and some cold remedies (e.g Night Nurse ®) also contain paracetamol. Any paracetamol taken in these combination products should be included in the maximum daily dose. Paracetamol is available as tablets, capsules, syrup and soluble tablets. Soluble tablets should be avoided if possible since they are high in sodium. Any liquid needed to dissolve

the tablets has to be included in the daily fluid allowance, if you are on a restricted amount of fluid.
