FOSEAL 400MG TABLET

Foseal 400mg tablet is a source of an active ingredient known as Sevelamer. It is part of the class known as phosphate binding agents. It is employed to control hyperphosphatemia (high blood levels of phosphate) in adults undergoing dialysis (hemodialysis or dialysis peritoneal) and patients suffering from chronic kidney diseases who have elevated phosphorus levels in their serum. It should be combined with other treatments, like vitamin D supplements and calcium, to avoid bone disease. A high level of blood phosphorus can cause calcification. This is when hard deposits develop and increase the stiffness of blood vessels, affecting blood flow.
Do not take Foseal 400 mg tablets if you have an allergy to Sevelamer or any of the ingredients in the drug. Do not consume this medication when you are suffering from lower levels of phosphate or bowel obstruction. Before you take this medicine, inform your physician if you are expecting or planning to become pregnant, or believe you might be expecting or nursing. Before you begin therapy, tell your physician to be aware of any difficulties swallowing or if you feel your stomach or bowels are having problems moving food.
Also, tell your physician if you suffer from bowel inflammation or have been through a significant bowel or stomach surgery. Foseal 400 mg tablet is not advised for children under six years old due to the lack of research studies regarding its safety or effectiveness for this age group. If your doctor has warned you that you have a problem with sugar, you should consult your physician before you start taking this medication because it contains lactose.
