Product Introduction
Dynulta Tablet contains sucroferric oxyhydroxide as its active component. It is a phosphate binder indicated for hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. Hyperphosphatemia involves abnormally elevated blood phosphate levels, a frequent complication of CKD. The medication contains iron, which may benefit patients with CKD who commonly develop iron deficiency anaemia. The dual action of iron supplementation and phosphate binding addresses iron deficiency and supports red blood cell production.
Do not take Dynulta Tablet if allergic to it or any of its components. Allergic reactions range from mild to severe and may include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
Use Dynulta Tablet with caution in patients with iron overload disorders such as haemochromatosis, or those receiving high-dose intravenous iron therapy.
Safety and effectiveness of this medicine in paediatric patients have not been established, as use in this population has not been extensively studied.
Uses
Treatment of high phosphate levels in the blood
How it works
Dynulta Tablet is a medication that effectively lowers elevated phosphate levels in the blood, primarily in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are on dialysis. By binding to dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, this medication prevents its absorption into the bloodstream, thereby reducing the overall phosphate burden. This helps to manage hyperphosphatemia, a common complication of CKD, and minimize associated risks such as bone disease and cardiovascular complications.
