Product Description:
Sevelamer Carbonate 800 mg Tablets are an oral medication used to manage hyperphosphatemia (elevated phosphate levels) in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those undergoing dialysis. Sevelamer is a phosphate binder that works by binding to dietary phosphate in the digestive tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. This helps reduce phosphate levels in the blood, which is essential in managing mineral and bone disorders commonly seen in patients with kidney disease.
By lowering phosphate levels, Sevelamer Carbonate helps prevent complications such as bone disease, calcification of blood vessels, and other cardiovascular issues associated with elevated phosphate levels. It is commonly prescribed for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is often used alongside dietary restrictions to control phosphate levels effectively.
Uses:
Treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those on dialysis
Helps reduce the risk of mineral and bone disorders by lowering phosphate levels
Reduces the complications of vascular calcification and bone disease associated with high phosphate levels
