Sevelamer (800mg)

Introduction

SAVELINER 800, containing Sevelamer (800mg), is a phosphate binder used primarily to control hyperphosphatemia (high phosphate levels) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. By binding to dietary phosphate in the digestive tract, Sevelamer prevents its absorption into the bloodstream, helping to maintain balanced phosphate levels and reduce the risk of complications associated with high phosphate levels.

Uses

SAVELINER 800 is primarily used for:

• Hyperphosphatemia Management: Controls elevated phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis.
• Bone Health: Helps prevent bone disorders associated with high phosphate levels, such as osteodystrophy.
• Cardiovascular Health: Reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications linked to elevated phosphate levels in CKD patients.

Dosage

The dosage of SAVELINER 800 should be individualized based on the patient’s serum phosphate levels and response to treatment:

• Initial Dose: Typically, 800mg to 1600mg is taken three times daily with meals.
• Maintenance Dose: Adjusted based on phosphate levels, generally ranging from 800mg to 2400mg per meal.
• Administration: Take with food to maximize phosphate binding.

Common side effects associated with Sevelamer (800mg) include:

• Bloating: Some patients may experience bloating or gas.
• Indigestion: Mild indigestion or discomfort after meals.
• Headache: Occasionally reported by patients.

• Allergic Reactions: Symptoms like rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing require immediate medical attention.

Conclusion

SAVELINER 800 (Sevelamer 800mg) is an effective medication for managing hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. By preventing the absorption of dietary phosphate, it helps maintain balanced phosphate levels, supporting bone and cardiovascular health.
