About this active substance
Sucroferric oxyhydroxide is a medication used to control phosphorus levels in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. It acts as a phosphate binder, binding phosphorus from food and reducing its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
The medication is taken orally, usually with meals, as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow the treatment regimen and monitor phosphorus levels to prevent complications.
Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, or, in rare cases, allergic reactions.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions to ensure the safe use of sucroferric oxyhydroxide.
