Product Description

Sevelamer Carbonate Tablets are phosphate binding medicines used to control high phosphate levels in the blood, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease who are receiving dialysis. They work in the digestive tract by binding dietary phosphate and reducing its absorption into the bloodstream.

🔹 Key Uses

Used to control high blood phosphate levels in chronic kidney disease

Used in patients receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis

Helps manage phosphate levels as part of kidney disease treatment

May help reduce complications associated with prolonged high phosphate levels

🔹 Composition

Active ingredient: Sevelamer Carbonate

Strengths: 400 mg and 800 mg

Medicine class: Phosphate binder

Dosage form: Oral tablet

🔹 How It Works

Sevelamer carbonate binds to phosphate present in food inside the digestive tract. The bound phosphate is then eliminated through the stool instead of being absorbed into the bloodstream. This helps reduce elevated blood phosphate levels.

🔹 Key Benefits

Helps lower elevated blood phosphate levels

Reduces absorption of dietary phosphate

Supports phosphate management in chronic kidney disease

Can be used as part of treatment for patients receiving dialysis

🔹 Dosage and Administration

The dose is determined by the doctor according to the patients blood phosphate level, kidney function, dialysis status and dietary phosphate intake.

The tablets should generally be taken with meals and swallowed as directed. Do not crush, chew or break the tablets unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

🔹 Possible Side Effects

Possible side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion and bloating.

Seek medical attention if severe abdominal pain, persistent constipation, difficulty passing stool or other serious symptoms occur.

🔹 Precautions and Warnings

Use only under medical supervision.

Blood phosphate levels should be monitored regularly during treatment.

Take other oral medicines at the time recommended by the doctor because sevelamer can affect the absorption of some medicines.

Inform the doctor about bowel obstruction, severe constipation or other digestive disorders.

Follow the prescribed renal diet and phosphate restrictions along with the treatment.
