Fosbait 500 Tablet 30's belongs to a group of medications called 'phosphate binder' (which decreases the level of phosphate in the body). It is primarily used to control high phosphate levels in the body (hyperphosphataemia) in adult patients, who are on dialysis (a blood clearance technique), patients undergoing hemodialysis (using a blood filtration machine) and patients with lifelong kidney disease. It is also used for the treatment of bone disease.

Fosbait 500 Tablet 30's contains 'Lanthanum' which reduces the absorption of phosphate by binding phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract and decreasing absorption. It makes insoluble complexes in the GI tract that passes through the body without any 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.

It effectively reduces excess phosphate levels in the blood and prevents the unsafe buildup of phosphate in your body, helps to keep your bones strong and decreases the risk of heart disease and strokes. Fosbait 500 Tablet 30's controls hyperphosphataemia (high blood phosphate levels) in adult patients on dialysis (a blood clearance technique), patients undergoing hemodialysis (using a blood filtration machine) or peritoneal dialysis (where the fluid is pumped into the abdomen and an internal body membrane filters the blood) and patients with chronic kidney disease.

Hyperphosphatemia (high phosphate level in blood) is often a complication of chronic kidney disease. Phosphate is an important electrolyte it strengthens your bones, teeth and produces energy.  When phosphate level increase in your blood due to kidney impairment (the kidney does not remove extra phosphate from the body) can cause muscle problems and increase your risk for weak bones, heart attacks and strokes. It is more common in people with chronic kidney disease and people on dialysis. Increased levels of serum phosphorus can also lead to hard deposits in the blood vessels (calcification). It can stiffen your blood vessels and make it harder for blood to be pumped whole the body organ. Symptoms of increased blood phosphorus include itchy skin, red eyes, bone pain and fractures.
