Sevelamer Carbonate 800mg Tablets, 180 tablets

Sevelamer carbonate 800mg contains sevelamer carbonate as the active ingredient. Sevelamer carbonate is a medication that can bind phosphate from food in the digestive tract, helping to reduce serum phosphorus levels in the blood. This can be an effective way to manage your phosphorus levels and avoid potential health complications.

Sevelamer carbonate is used to control hyperphosphataemia (high blood phosphate levels) in:
• adult patients on dialysis (a blood clearance technique). It can be used in patients undergoing haemodialysis (using a blood filtration machine) or peritoneal dialysis (where fluid is pumped into the abdomen and an internal body membrane filters the blood);
• patients with chronic (long-term) kidney disease who are not on dialysis and have a serum (blood) phosphorus level equal to or above 1.78 mmol/l.
Sevelamer carbonate should be used with other treatments such as calcium supplements and vitamin D to prevent the development of bone disease.
Increased levels of serum phosphorus can lead to hard deposits in your body called calcification. These deposits can stiffen your blood vessels and make it harder for blood to be pumped around the body. Increased serum phosphorus can also lead to itchy skin, red eyes, bone pain and fractures.

These symptoms can be due to sevelamer crystal deposits in your bowel. Contact your doctor who will decide on continuing the treatment or not. Additional treatments: Due to either your kidney condition or your dialysis treatment you may: • develop low or high levels of calcium in your blood. Since this medicine does not contain calcium your doctor might prescribe additional calcium tablets. • have a low amount of vitamin D in your blood. Therefore, your doctor may monitor the levels of vitamin D in your blood and prescribe additional vitamin D as necessary. If you do not take multivitamin supplements you may also develop low levels of vitamins A, E, K and folic acid in your blood and therefore your doctor may monitor these levels and prescribe supplemental vitamins as necessary. • have disturbed level of bicarbonate in your blood and increased acidity in the blood and other body tissue. Your doctor should monitor the level of bicarbonate in your blood. Special note for patients on peritoneal dialysis: You may develop peritonitis (infection of your abdominal fluid) associated with your peritoneal dialysis.

Therefore your doctor may monitor the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone in your blood more closely. • Medicines treating heartburn and reflux from your stomach or oesophagus, such as omeprazole, pantoprazole or lansoprazole (known as “proton pump inhibitors”), may reduce the effectiveness of Sevelamer carbonate. Your doctor may monitor the phosphate level in your blood. Your doctor will check for interactions between Sevelamer carbonate and other medicines on a regular basis.
