SEVALAC 400MG TABLET

Sevalac 400mg tablet is a source of an active ingredient known as Sevelamer. It is part of the medication class of phosphate binders. It is used to treat hyperphosphatemia (high blood levels of phosphate) in adults undergoing dialysis (hemodialysis or dialysis in the peritoneal region) and patients suffering from chronic kidney diseases with elevated levels of serum phosphorus. It should be combined with other treatments, including vitamin D or calcium-rich supplements, to help prevent bone diseases. The high blood phosphorus levels could result in calcification, a process where deposits develop and make blood vessels stiffer, affecting blood flow.

Do not take Sevalac 400 mg tablet when allergic to Sevelamer or any other ingredients found in the medicine. Avoid taking this medicine if you suffer from lower phosphate levels or an obstruction in the bowel. Before you start taking this medication, be sure to inform your physician if you’re pregnant, are planning to become pregnant, or suspect you might be nursing or pregnant. Before beginning the treatment plan, tell your physician about any issues you may have with swallowing or if you feel your stomach or bowels are having problems moving food.

Inform your doctor if you have an intestinal inflammation or have undergone significant bowel or stomach surgery. Sevalac 400 mg tablet is not recommended for children younger than six years of age due to the absence of research on the safety and effectiveness of this medication in this age group.
