Nestle Resource Dialysis Powder is FDA-approved for the following uses:

• Nutritional management of patients undergoing dialysis
• Preventing protein-energy malnutrition in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• Supplementing protein needs in dialysis patients while maintaining low electrolyte intake
• Supporting muscle maintenance and overall nutritional balance in patients with renal impairment

Nestle Resource Dialysis Powder works by providing high-quality whey protein and essential nutrients that help meet the increased protein demands of dialysis patients. It helps replenish protein loss that occurs during dialysis and prevents protein-energy malnutrition, which is common in CKD patients. The low electrolyte content ensures that potassium, sodium, and phosphorus levels remain within safe limits, reducing the risk of complications. Additionally, the balanced nutrient profile helps maintain muscle mass, enhances immune function, and promotes overall well-being in individuals undergoing dialysis.

Patients using Nestle Resource Dialysis Powder should be cautious when taking medications that affect electrolyte balance or fluid retention. Potential interactions include:

• Diuretics: Increased risk of electrolyte imbalance when combined with diuretics like furosemide or spironolactone.
• Potassium Supplements: Potassium levels should be monitored closely, as high potassium intake can increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
• Phosphate Binders: Concurrent use may alter phosphate levels, necessitating adjustments in phosphate binder dosage.
• ACE Inhibitors/ARBs: These medications can affect potassium levels, increasing the risk of hyperkalemia.
• Calcium Channel Blockers: Use with caution, as calcium and phosphate imbalances may occur.

Patients should inform their doctor about all medications and supplements they are taking to avoid adverse effects.

• Stored at controlled room temperature, between 20°C to 25°C.
• Keep away from moisture, heat, and light.
• Keep away from children and pets.

To prepare Nestle Resource Dialysis Powder, mix 6 scoops (approx. 46g) in 190ml of water and stir well until fully dissolved. It is recommended to consume 1-2 servings per day or as advised by your healthcare provider. The product can be consumed with or without food and should be taken within 24 hours after mixing. Follow the dosage instructions carefully to avoid excessive protein or electrolyte intake.

Common Side Effects:

• Bloating or gas
• Nausea
• Mild diarrhea
• Abdominal discomfort

Serious Side Effects:

• Electrolyte imbalances
• Hyperkalemia (high potassium levels)
• Fluid retention (in rare cases)

Patients experiencing severe side effects should discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

Be aware of any digestive discomfort, such as nausea or bloating. Adjust the dosage or discontinue use if such issues persist. To enhance the advantages of the Powder, ensure you stay hydrated, promote healthy kidney function, and consider including a range of complete foods in your diet. Limit your sodium and potassium intake from foods such as avocados, canned foods, and soda. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all your medications before starting the supplement.
