The Phosgood 400 Tablet, containing Sevelamer 400mg, is a medication prescribed to help manage and lower high phosphate levels in the blood. This is especially important for patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly those undergoing dialysis, where the kidneys cannot effectively remove phosphate. By binding to dietary phosphate in the digestive system, it prevents its absorption into the bloodstream.
Precautions: It's important to note that Phosgood 400 Tablet may reduce the absorption of certain vitamins (A, D, E, K). Always inform your doctor about all other medications and supplements you are taking. This medicine is not suitable for individuals with bowel obstruction.
Storage: Keep this medicine in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of the reach of children.
Uses:
- Controlling High Phosphate Levels (Hyperphosphatemia): It is primarily prescribed for patients who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are experiencing high levels of phosphate in their blood.
- For Patients on Dialysis: It is particularly important for CKD patients who are undergoing dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), as their kidneys are unable to remove excess phosphate efficiently.
Directions of Use
To ensure optimal effectiveness of the Phosgood 400 Tablet, always follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Take the tablet with meals as prescribed, usually three times a day. It is essential to swallow the Phosgood 400 Tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this could alter its intended action and effectiveness. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage based on your phosphate levels and overall condition. Do not alter your dose without consulting your physician.
