Description:
Sevelamer Carbonate 800 mg is a phosphate binder used to control high phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. It works by preventing the absorption of phosphate from food in the digestive tract. Sevelamer is not absorbed into the bloodstream and works locally in the gut. This helps prevent complications like bone disease, heart problems, and blood vessel damage in CKD patients.
Tags:
- Effectively lowers phosphate levels in CKD patients
- Reduces the risk of bone disease and heart issues
- Does not contain calcium or metal ions
- Acts locally in the gut (minimal systemic absorption)
