Renvela 800 mg Sachet

Renvela 800 mg Sachet is used to control high phosphate levels in the body (hyperphosphataemia) in adult patients on dialysis (a blood clearance technique), patients undergoing hemodialysis (using a blood filtration machine), and patients with chronic kidney disease. It is also used to prevent the development of bone disease along with other treatments like calcium and vitamin D supplements.

Renvela 800 mg Sachet contains sevelamer, which works by binding phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract and decreasing absorption. It effectively reduces excess phosphate levels in the blood, prevents the unsafe build-up of phosphate in your body and helps keep your bones strong.

Take Renvela 800 mg Sachet exactly as directed by your doctor. The common side effects of Renvela 800 mg Sachet are vomiting, upper abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea, and constipation. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor.

Do not take Renvela 800 mg Sachet if you are allergic to any of its components, have low levels of phosphate in the blood, or have a bowel obstruction. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your doctor before taking Renvela 800 mg Sachet. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to prevent any interactions/side effects.

Renvela 800 mg Sachet is used to control high phosphate levels in patients with kidney problems. The detailed uses of Renvela 800 mg Sachet are as follows:

• Treatment of hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients: Used to lower high blood phosphate levels in adults undergoing haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
• Management of hyperphosphatemia in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients: Prescribed for patients with chronic renal disease who do not require dialysis but have elevated serum phosphorus levels (≥1.78 mmol/L).
• Prevention of bone disorders: Used in combination with calcium and vitamin D supplements to lower the risk of bone disease caused by high phosphate levels.
• Supports phosphate balance: Renvela 800 mg Sachet helps to maintain a healthy balance of minerals in the blood when the kidneys are unable to filter phosphate properly.

• Take Renvela 800 mg Sachet with food or as advised by your doctor.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Check the label for directions and use as advised. Mix the recommended amount of powder using the dosing spoon in 30 mL of water, stir well, and drink it within 30 minutes.
• Do not store the dissolved mixture for later use. Avoid mixing the contents with very hot or cold liquids.

Renvela 800 mg Sachet belongs to a group of medications called phosphate binders which is used to controls hyperphosphataemia (high blood phosphate levels) in adult patients on dialysis (a blood clearance technique), patients undergoing hemodialysis (using a blood filtration machine) or peritoneal dialysis (where the fluid is pumped into the abdomen and an internal body membrane filters the blood), and patients with chronic kidney disease. Renvela 800 mg Sachet contains Sevelamer, which works by binding phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract and decreasing its absorption. This lowers the phosphate concentration in the body. It effectively reduces excess phosphate levels in the blood, prevents the unsafe buildup of phosphate in your body and helps keep your bones strong.

Do not take Renvela 800 mg Sachet if you are allergic to any of its components, have low levels of phosphate or have bowel obstruction. Inform your doctor if you have swallowing disorders, motility problems in the stomach or intestine, active bowel inflammation, or have undergone major surgery on your stomach or bowel. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Renvela 800 mg Sachet. Talk to your doctor if you have severe abdominal pain, stomach or intestinal disorders, or blood in the stool, as these could be symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease caused by sevelamer crystals deposited in your bowel.
