About Pullphos Tablet 10's

Pullphos Tablet 10'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.

Pullphos Tablet 10'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 Pullphos Tablet 10's, let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor before taking Pullphos Tablet 10'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.

Doctors will test your blood phosphate level to see if you have excess phosphorus. If your phosphate level is higher than 4.5 mg/dL, your doctor may order additional tests to rule out kidney disease.
Pullphos Tablet 10's may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Milk, paneer, cheese, curd, and other dairy products, as well as Chinese cabbage, broccoli, and kale, are good sources of calcium.
