Renecar-400 Tablet 10's

Renecar-400 Tablet 10'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 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.

Renecar-400 Tablet 10's contains sevelamer that works by binding phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract and decreasing absorption. It effectively reduces excess phosphate levels in the blood, prevents the unsafe build-up of phosphate in your body, helps keep your bones strong, and decreases the risk of heart disease and strokes.

Take Renecar-400 Tablet 10's exactly as directed by your doctor. The most common side effects of Renecar-400 Tablet 10's are vomiting, upper abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach ache, indigestion, and flatulence. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

Renecar-400 Tablet 10'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.

Drug-Drug Interactions: Renecar-400 Tablet 10's interacts with antibiotics (ciprofloxacin), immunosuppressive agents (mycophenolate), thyroid medications  (levothyroxine), and medication used to treat bladder cancer (erdafitinib).

Drug-Food Interactions: Avoid taking high-phosphate additives and alcohol as this makes it harder for your body to absorb Renecar-400 Tablet 10's and increases side effects. Using Renecar-400 Tablet 10's together with multivitamins with minerals may decrease the effects of multivitamins with minerals. So, Multivitamins with minerals should be administered at least 4 hours before Renecar-400 Tablet 10's.

Drug-Disease Interactions: The use of Renecar-400 Tablet 10's is restricted in people with hypophosphatemia (low phosphate level in blood), bowel obstruction and perforation, and severe liver disease.

Hyperphosphatemia: Hyperphosphatemia is defined as an increased phosphate level in the blood. This condition is often a complication of chronic kidney disease. Phosphate is an important electrolyte. It strengthens your bones and teeth and produces energy.  When phosphate levels increase in the blood due to kidney impairment (the kidney does not remove extra phosphate out of the body), this can cause muscle problems and increase the risk of weak bones, heart attacks, and strokes. It is more common in people with chronic kidney disease and people on dialysis. Symptoms may include itchy skin, red eyes, bone pain, and fractures.
