About Renophilus Capsule

Renophilus Capsule belongs to the class of probiotics used for uremic detoxification and to delay the progression of chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease is a condition that is characterised by gradual loss of kidney function over time. Kidneys filter excess fluid and waste from the blood. Due to kidney disease, the waste can build up to high levels in the blood, which could make you sick.

Renophilus Capsule is a combination of probiotics (live strains of bacteria that keeps the body healthy) and prebiotics (types of fibre that act as food for friendly bacteria) that help in neutralizing the uremic toxins such as creatinine, urea, etc, and reduces decomposing bacteria in the colon by lowering the pH of the urine. Renophilus Capsule also increases the toxin excretion by increasing the permeability of the colon. Thereby Renophilus Capsule helps in the detoxification of urine and delays the progression of chronic kidney disease. 

Take Renophilus Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Renophilus Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.
