Neovel 800mg Tablet

Neovel 800mg Tablet contains Sevelamer 800mg, a non-calcium phosphate binder. Made by Cell Laboratories Ltd, it is prescribed for high phosphate in kidney disease and chronic kidney disease. Pack size: 30 tablets.

Uses of Neovel 800mg Tablet

Neovel 800mg Tablet 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 Neovel 800mg Tablet 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 Neovel 800mg Tablet affect the digestive system, such as:
