If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
Alfacon enhances protein metabolism by using amino acid catabolic pathways. By supplying essential amino acids without excess nitrogen, it supports renal function while reducing urea production and metabolic stress in patients with impaired kidney function.
Alfacon® is a specialized nutritional supplement containing essential amino acids, partially provided as their corresponding keto-analogues, developed for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It supports protein metabolism while minimizing nitrogen intake, helping to protect kidney function.
The keto- and hydroxy-analogues follow the same metabolic pathways as amino acids. In the body, they are converted into essential amino acids by utilizing nitrogen from non-essential amino acids. This process reduces urea formation through nitrogen recycling, thereby lowering the metabolic burden on the kidneys and improving nutrient absorption.
