ROKFOS 100ML

About

ROKFOS 100ML is a medication primarily used as a phosphate binder, designed to manage hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those undergoing dialysis. In CKD, the kidneys lose their ability to effectively excrete phosphate, leading to elevated levels in the blood. High phosphate levels can contribute to various complications, including secondary hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, and cardiovascular disease. ROKFOS works by binding to dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, forming insoluble complexes that are then excreted in the feces, thereby reducing the absorption of phosphate into the bloodstream. This helps to maintain serum phosphate levels within a healthy range, mitigating the long-term risks associated with hyperphosphatemia and improving overall patient outcomes.
