About Lanum Tablet 15's

Lanum Tablet 15's is used to control elevated phosphorus levels in people with kidney disease who are on dialysis (medical treatment that cleans the blood when the kidneys are not working properly). Hyperphosphatemia means you have extra phosphorus in your blood.

Lanum Tablet 15's contains calcium acetate, which works by binding phosphorus that you get from foods in your diet and prevents it from being absorbed into your bloodstream.

You may experience nausea (feeling sick) or vomiting (being sick), as well as constipation and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

Before taking Lanum Tablet 15's, let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor before taking Lanum Tablet 15's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; if you have lactose intolerance; if you have high levels of calcium in your blood or urine, or have low levels of phosphate in your blood.
