Foseal 400mg

Foseal 400 mg contains the active ingredient Sevelamer hydrochloride, polymer phosphate binder discovered for oral administration. It binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract and therefore causes a significant reduction in the serum phosphate levels in the bloodstream. Your doctor may prescribe Foseal to control phosphate levels in the bloodstream of patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis treatment. Adults who suffer kidney failure or are undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis cannot control serum phosphate levels in their blood. The amount of phosphate then rises, and clinicians termed this condition hyperphosphatemia. Excessive amounts of phosphate can cause hard deposition in the body called calcification. These deposits can stiffen your blood vessels and make it difficult for blood to flow around the body. The symptoms of an increase’s serum phosphate include itchy red eyes, bone pain and fractures. Sevelamer can be used in combination with other drugs, including vitamin D or calcium supplements, to control the development of renal bone disease.
