Hello I understand your concern — when a loved one with chronic kidney disease (CKD) develops fever and throat infection, choosing the right medicine becomes very important. You’ve mentioned Aimil Fifatrol, which is a very good Ayurvedic formulation for infections, but in kidney patients, dosage and hydration need special care.
✅ About Fifatrol Tablet (Aimil)
Fifatrol is a broad-spectrum Ayurvedic formulation that acts as a natural immunomodulator, antipyretic, and anti-infective, useful in fever, sore throat, and mild respiratory infections. It contains ingredients like Guduchi, Tulsi, Daruharidra, Karanja, Chirayata, and Katuki, which help fight infection while supporting liver and immunity.
✅ Suggested Safe Dose
Fifatrol Tablet – 1 tablet twice daily after food with lukewarm water. Continue for 3–5 days or until fever subsides.
Avoid self-increasing the dose (normal adult dose is 2 tablets twice daily, but not advised in CKD).
Note If your father’s urine output is adequate and stable, Fifatrol can be given safely at the reduced dose.
✅ Supportive Ayurvedic Remedies
1. Tulsi + Dry Ginger + Black Pepper decoction (¼ tsp each, boiled in 2 cups water → reduced to 1 cup) – give 50–75 ml lukewarm twice daily for throat and cold relief.
2. Guduchi (Giloy) Swarasa – 10 ml twice daily after food for immunity and fever.
3. Sitopaladi Churna – ½ tsp with honey twice daily for throat congestion and cough.
✅HOME AND LIFESTYLE CARE.
Keep him well-hydrated (as advised by nephrologist — usually 1.5–2 L/day, depending on CKD stage). Use warm saline gargle twice daily for throat. Light diet — moong dal soup, boiled vegetables, rice gruel. Avoid cold foods, curd, banana, and refrigerated water. Ensure complete rest and monitor temperature every 6 hours.
With mild-dose Fifatrol and supportive herbs, fever and throat irritation should subside in 3–4 days, while energy and appetite improve gradually.

HELLO
Ayurvedic View: Fifatrol is an Ayurvedic polyherbal formulation used for fever, sore throat, and respiratory infections. It’s designed to boost immunity, act as an antipyretic, and support the body’s defense mechanisms. Its main ingredients, such as Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), and Daruharidra (Berberis aristata), possess tridosha-balancing and ama-reducing properties, making these herbs key to managing infections naturally.
Caution in CKD: In chronic kidney disease, even herbal medicines need to be used with caution since kidney metabolism and excretion are impaired. Certain ingredients may increase the renal load or contain minerals/herbs that are not suitable for lowered kidney function.
DOSAGE For adults (general population, not CKD-specific): Dosage: Generally, 1 tablet twice a day after meals with lukewarm water.
Duration: For acute infections, 3–5 days; or as directed. Hydration: Maintain adequate fluid intake according to the nephrologist’s recommendations.
Ayurvedic support with: Mild, easily digestible food items, like moong dal soup or rice gruel. Avoid cold, heavy, and oily foods. Nasal passages can be cleaned with a steam inhalation of Tulsi or Ajwain. Gargling with warm turmeric-salt water for throat relief.

In the context of your father’s chronic kidney disease and current symptoms, caution is essential. Aimil Fifatrol tablet, known for its herbal composition, is typically utilized to address fever, cold, and throat discomfort. However, given your father’s renal condition, any medication, even herbal ones, should be considered carefully.
Fifatrol tablet is primarily composed of herbs that might help in reducing fever and alleviating cold symptoms, but the specific dosage should be determined in consultation with a healthcare provider who understands his full medical background. Generally, for a healthy adult without pre-existing conditions, the usual dosage could be two tablets twice a day, but this isn’t a one-size-fits-all recommendation, especially in cases involving kidney concerns.
For chronic kidney conditions, it is crucial to consider the potential for reduced kidney function affecting how the body processes any medication. Herbal supplements can also have active ingredients that might interact with existing treatments or further affect kidney function. It’s strongly recommended to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider before starting any new remedy.
While addressing the immediate symptoms like fever and cold, ensure adequate hydration — albeit balanced to not overload the kidneys — and rest. Warm herbal teas with ginger or tulsi (holy basil) might provide comfort for a sore throat. However, these should be consumed in moderation, considering your father’s kidney condition.
Urgently, monitor his fever and symptoms closely. If severity increases or he experiences additional complications, seek medical attention immediately. This ensures he receives appropriate care tailored to his unique health situation.
For your father, given his chronic kidney disease, it’s important to proceed cautiously with any herbal formulations. Aimil Fifatrol is a natural product known for its antipyretic and anti-infective properties, yet certain herbal ingredients may impact kidney function or interact with prescribed medications.
For adults, including those with underlying conditions such as kidney disease, it’s typically recommended to start with the lowest dose possible, like 1 tablet twice a day, post meals, and closely monitor his response to the treatment. However, due to his specific condition, it’s crucial to first consult your father’s healthcare provider or a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner familiar with his medical history.
In the meantime, for symptomatic relief from a runny nose and sore throat, natural measures like warm water gargling with turmeric and salt can be helpful. Also, ensure adequate hydration with lukewarm water, which supports kidney function and aids in reducing fever. His dietary intake should be monitored, avoid heavy meals, focusing on light, easily digestible foods that won’t strain digestion or kidneys during this feverish state.
Keep a close eye on the fever, if it persists or his condition worsens, seek medical attention promptly. Balancing these immediate relief measures with kidney-safe practices can help manage his symptoms much more safely. Remember that any persistent high fever, especially in someone with chronic conditions, can be a sign of something serious, so timely medical consultation is key.
