0.00 (0)


Action Period: ...

Sevelamer Hydrochloride is a new treatment for the control of serum phosphorus in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. Elevated serum phosphorus levels or uncontrolled hyperphosphatemia leads to development of secondary hyperparathyroidism, renal bone disease, calcification of vascular and nonvascular tissues, and cardiovascular disease. It is a calcium-free and aluminium-free nonabsorbed polymer phosphate binder, it does not cause calcium and aluminium toxicity. When taken with meals it inhibits intestinal absorption of ingested phosphate.
