About
SEVCAR 800MG TAB contains sevelamer, a non-calcium, non-aluminum phosphate binder specifically designed to manage hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are undergoing dialysis. In CKD, the kidneys are unable to effectively excrete phosphate, leading to elevated serum phosphate levels (hyperphosphatemia). This condition can contribute to serious complications such as secondary hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, and vascular calcification, significantly impacting patient morbidity and mortality. Sevelamer works by binding to dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, forming an insoluble complex that is then excreted in the feces, thereby preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. By effectively lowering serum phosphate, SEVCAR helps to mitigate these complications, improve overall bone and cardiovascular health, and enhance the long-term prognosis for dialysis patients.
