Renvela 800mg Powder

Renvela Powder contains sevelamer, a phosphate binder medication. It is used to manage hyperphosphatemia (elevated blood phosphate levels) in adult patients undergoing dialysis (haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) and patients with chronic kidney disease who have raised serum phosphorus levels. It should be used alongside other treatments, including calcium supplements and vitamin D, to help prevent bone disease. High blood phosphorus levels can lead to calcification, in which hard deposits accumulate and stiffen blood vessels, reducing blood flow.

Do not take Renvela 800mg Powder if you are allergic to sevelamer or any ingredient in the medication. Avoid this medicine if you have low phosphate levels or bowel obstruction.
