What is Retroalfa Sachet, and what is it used for?

Retroalfa Sachet is a form of essential amino acid. When given as a therapy, it exerts a metabolic benefit on the body. Retroalfa Sachet is most commonly used as nutrition therapy or dietary supplements in patients with chronic kidney failure. This medicine helps stop urea levels in the blood from rising too much by blocking the effects of certain amino acids that the body doesn't need, especially in people with kidney problems.
