Frequently asked questions

Can Sevelamer be crushed?
No, Sevelamer should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. It must be swallowed whole with water.
Is Sevelamer taken with food?
Yes, Sevelamer should be taken with meals to effectively bind to phosphate from food. The recommended dosage is 1-2 tablets, taken three times daily, as directed by your doctor.
Who should not take Sevelamer?
Individuals allergic to Sevelamer, those with low phosphate levels in the blood, and patients with intestinal obstruction should avoid taking Sevelamer.
Does Sevelamer cause constipation?
Constipation is a common side effect of Sevelamer, though not everyone experiences it. Other gastrointestinal side effects may include diarrhea, indigestion, flatulence, and abdominal pain. Consult your doctor if these symptoms become severe.
How long do I need to take Sevelamer?
Continue taking Sevelamer as prescribed by your doctor. It helps lower dietary phosphate levels but does not cure your condition, so you may need to take it long-term to prevent phosphate level increases.
Why is it important for me to take Sevelamer?
Sevelamer is crucial for patients undergoing dialysis to manage elevated phosphate levels in the blood, which can lead to complications like itchy skin, red eyes, high blood pressure, bone pain, and increased fracture risk. It binds to dietary phosphate, reducing serum phosphate levels.
Do I need to have any tests while taking Sevelamer?
Yes, regular monitoring of serum phosphate levels is necessary while on Sevelamer. Additionally, it may lower levels of vitamins D, A, E, K, and folic acid, which should also be monitored during treatment.
Can I take ciprofloxacin while I am taking Sevelamer?
Ciprofloxacin may interfere with Sevelamer's effectiveness, so it should not be taken simultaneously. Maintain a gap of at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking Sevelamer.
