Sevecar 800mg Tablet
PRODUCT DETAILS
About Sevecar 800mg Tablet
SEVELAMER belongs to a group of medications called 'phosphate binder' (which decrease the level of phosphate in the body). It is primarily used to control high phosphate level in the body (hyperphosphataemia) in adult patients on dialysis (a blood clearance technique), patients undergoing hemodialysis (using a blood filtration machine), and patients with chronic kidney disease. It is also used for the treatment of bone disease.
SEVELAMER contains 'sevelamer' that works by binding phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract and decreasing absorption. It effectively reduces excess phosphate levels in the blood and prevents the unsafe build-up of phosphate in your body, helps to keep your bones strong, and decreases the risk of heart disease and strokes.
