Renagel

How is this medication used?

The medication is typically taken three times a day with meals. The dosage depends on the phosphate levels in the blood and must be adjusted under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to miss doses to effectively control phosphate levels.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and indigestion. Some patients may also experience itching or rash. Serious side effects are rare but can include bowel obstruction and severe allergic reactions.

What are the potential interactions?

Renagel can interact with other medications by affecting their absorption. It is especially important to consider the timing of taking other medications, as Renagel should not be taken at the same time as other oral medications that could be bound by it. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking to prevent potential interactions.
