Description:

Active Ingredient: Sevelamer Hydrochloride (800mg).

Class: Phosphate binder.

Mechanism of Action:

Sevelamer works by binding to phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. This helps lower elevated phosphate levels in patients with kidney dysfunction, which can reduce the risk of complications like mineral bone disease.

Uses:

Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD):

Used to control high phosphate levels in patients with CKD who are on dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis).

Hyperphosphatemia in Dialysis Patients:

Helps prevent complications such as bone disease, cardiovascular issues, and soft tissue calcification that can result from high phosphate levels.
