FAQs

Is Renvela 800mg Sachet taken with food?

Yes, Renvela 800mg Sachet can be taken with food. It is recommended to take 1-2 tablets (based on individual needs) thrice daily. It is important to take it with meals because Renvela 800mg Sachet works by binding to phosphate from food. Take it exactly as advised by your doctor.

Can Renvela 800mg Sachet be crushed?

No, you should not crush, chew, or break Renvela 800mg Sachet into pieces. You should swallow it as a whole with water.

Why is it important for me to take Renvela 800mg Sachet?

It is important to take Renvela 800mg Sachet as patients undergoing dialysis cannot control the phosphate levels in their blood, especially after a meal. When the level of phosphate exceeds above the range in the blood, it may cause problems such as itchy skin, red eyes, high blood pressure, bone pain, and also increase the risk of fractures. These increased serum phosphate levels are reduced by Renvela 800mg Sachet, as it binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract.

Does Renvela 800mg Sachet cause constipation?

A common side effect of Renvela 800mg Sachet is constipation, though it does not occur in everyone. The other common side effects of the stomach and intestine include diarrhea, indigestion, flatulence, and pain in the abdomen. Immediately consult your doctor if these side effects become severe and disturb you.

Who should not take Renvela 800mg Sachet?

Patients who are allergic to Renvela 800mg Sachet and who have low levels of phosphate in blood should avoid taking Renvela 800mg Sachet. Additionally, patients having intestinal obstruction should also avoid using Renvela 800mg Sachet.

Can I take ciprofloxacin while I am taking Renvela 800mg Sachet?

Ciprofloxacin may interfere with the working of Renvela 800mg Sachet and therefore it should not be taken at the same time as Renvela 800mg Sachet. However, if taken together then a gap of at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking Renvela 800mg Sachet should be maintained.

How long do I need to take Renvela 800mg Sachet?

Continue taking Renvela 800mg Sachet as long as recommended by your doctor. Renvela 800mg Sachet lowers your dietary phosphate levels but does not cure your disease. Hence, you may have to take it lifelong, as stopping Renvela 800mg Sachet may increase your phosphate levels.

Do I need to have any tests while taking Renvela 800mg Sachet?

Yes, serum phosphate levels should be monitored regularly while you are taking Renvela 800mg Sachet. Also, the use of Renvela 800mg Sachet may decrease the levels of vitamin D, A, E, K, and folic acid and hence the levels need to be monitored during the treatment.
