Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i would advise you, to clarify with the Nephrologist, who prescribes it. Being in kidney failure, the medicines are being advised, to prevent worsening of your kidney function.All the medicines together, are being used to : 1.Zyloric-to reduce uric acid level,2.Dytor-to reduce the swelling over feet and puffiness over face,3.Recaltol-to increase the calcium levels,4.Phostat-to regulate phosphate levels,5.Fefol-to increase blood iron levels,(anemia).These changes are normally seen in kidney failure. Have full faith in your nephrologist, who's treating you, in the most competent manner.If you've any doubts,you may send it as a direct question, to me.
