How It Works:

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

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

Regular monitoring of blood phosphate levels is recommended.
