Renavel 400mg Tablets

Renavel 400mg Tablets contains Sevelamer 400mg, a non-calcium phosphate binder. Made by Genome Pharmaceuticals Ltd, it is prescribed for high phosphate in kidney disease and chronic kidney disease. Pack size: 30 tablets.

Uses of Renavel 400mg Tablets

Renavel 400mg Tablets is taken with meals by people with chronic kidney disease, mainly those on dialysis, to keep blood phosphate levels under control. When the kidneys fail, phosphate from food builds up in the blood, which over time can weaken bones, cause itching and lead to calcium deposits in blood vessels. It is used alongside a low-phosphate diet.

How Renavel 400mg Tablets works

Sevelamer is a resin that stays inside the gut and is not absorbed into the body. It binds phosphate from food so that it passes out in the stools instead of entering the blood. Unlike calcium-based binders, it does not add extra calcium to the body.

Possible side effects

Most side effects of Renavel 400mg Tablets affect the digestive system, such as:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Constipation
• Indigestion
• Stomach pain or bloating
• Diarrhoea

Get medical help promptly if you have severe stomach pain, severe constipation, no bowel movements or blood in your stools, as these may signal a bowel blockage.

• It can reduce the absorption of some medicines, such as ciprofloxacin, levothyroxine and ciclosporin, so your doctor may advise taking them at a different time.
