What is Sevelamer Carbonate used for?

Sevelamer Carbonate is primarily used to manage high phosphate levels in the blood, a condition known as hyperphosphatemia. It is commonly prescribed for patients undergoing dialysis due to chronic kidney disease. The medication works by binding phosphate in the digestive tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. This helps maintain healthy mineral balance and supports overall kidney health.

What are the side effects of Sevelamer Carbonate?

This process helps maintain balanced phosphate levels, which is important for patients with kidney disease. The medication does not provide nutrients but supports mineral regulation as part of a broader treatment plan.

Sevelamer Carbonate should be taken with meals as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to follow dietary phosphate restrictions while using this medication.
