ACOSEV 400MG TABLET

Acosev 400 mg tablet has an active ingredient named Sevelamer. It is part of the medication category known as phosphate binding agents. It controls hyperphosphatemia (high blood levels of phosphate) for adult patients undergoing dialysis (hemodialysis or dialysis in the peritoneal region) and patients suffering from chronic kidney disease with elevated phosphorus levels in their serum. Combining it with other treatments, including vitamin D or calcium-rich supplements, is suggested to avoid bone diseases. A high blood phosphorus level can result in calcification, where deposits develop and make blood vessels stiffer, affecting blood flow.
Do not take Acosev 400 mg tablet if you have an allergy to Sevelamer or one of its components in the drug. Avoid taking this medicine when you are suffering from lower levels of phosphate or obstruction of the bowel.
