SEVELET 400 Tablet contains Sevelamer, a medication that helps control high levels of phosphorous in individuals with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis. High phosphorous levels are common in patients with kidney disease due to decreased elimination of phosphate from the body, which can lead to various complications. Your doctor may recommend regular tests and a specific diet during treatment to manage potential side effects.

It is essential to take SEVELET 400 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor, usually with food and at the same time each day. This medication works by reducing the absorption of phosphate in the intestines, thereby lowering phosphate levels in the blood. However, individuals with low blood phosphorus levels or bowel obstruction should avoid using SEVELET 400 Tablet. Furthermore, caution is advised for patients with swallowing difficulties, gastrointestinal motility issues, or a history of major bowel surgery.

Pregnant women should only use SEVELET 400 Tablet if deemed absolutely necessary by their healthcare provider. It is unclear whether the medication is excreted in breast milk and could potentially impact a nursing baby, so consultation with a doctor is crucial before using it during breastfeeding. SEVELET 400 Tablet is not suitable for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age to treat elevated phosphate levels.

Common side effects of SEVELET 400 Tablet may include constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and digestive discomfort. If these side effects persist or worsen, seeking advice from your doctor is recommended to ensure optimal management of high phosphate levels in the blood.
