How It Works:

Renavel 400mg contains Sevelamer, a phosphate-binding medicine. It works inside the digestive tract by binding phosphate from food and preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. The bound phosphate is then eliminated from the body through stool.

It is not absorbed into the bloodstream, making it suitable for long-term use under medical supervision.

• Swallow the tablet whole with food

Regular blood tests are required to monitor phosphate levels.
