ALSODY TAB 10S

About

Alsody Tab is a medication primarily used in the management of hyperphosphatemia, a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those undergoing dialysis. It functions as a phosphate binder, meaning it binds to dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. By reducing serum phosphate levels, Alsody Tab helps to prevent complications such as renal osteodystrophy, ectopic calcification, and secondary hyperparathyroidism, which are associated with elevated phosphate. This action is crucial for maintaining bone health and cardiovascular well-being in CKD patients, thereby improving their overall prognosis and quality of life by effectively controlling mineral and bone disorders.
