medications easiest on kidneys?

Hi, does anyone know which meds are easiest on your kidneys? Can you take stimulants if you have kidney issues?

Thanks for any help!

There is no specific problem with stimulants in kidney disease (or normal aging), but to the extent a drug is cleared by the kidneys (ie. excreted in urine), you may have to adjust the dose downwards due to the increased half-life.
