Renvela 800 Tablet (Sevelamer)
Medicine OverView
Renvela 800 Tablet contains Sevelamer, a phosphate binder used to control high phosphate levels in the blood (hyperphosphatemia) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those on dialysis. When kidneys fail to eliminate excess phosphate effectively, it builds up in the blood, leading to complications such as bone disorders and cardiovascular problems.
Renvela works by binding dietary phosphate in the digestive tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. This helps maintain normal phosphate levels and reduces the risk of complications associated with kidney disease.
This medicine is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes dietary phosphate restriction and regular monitoring.
Renvela 800 Tablet should be used under medical supervision to ensure proper dosing and effectiveness.
