FAQs

Is Sevincio Tablet taken with food?

Yes, Sevincio Tablet 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 Sevincio Tablet works by binding to phosphate from food. Take it exactly as advised by your doctor.

Can Sevincio Tablet be crushed?

No, you should not crush, chew, or break Sevincio Tablet into pieces. You should swallow it as a whole with water.

Why is it important for me to take Sevincio Tablet?

It is important to take Sevincio Tablet 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 Sevincio Tablet, as it binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract.

Does Sevincio Tablet cause constipation?

A common side effect of Sevincio Tablet 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 Sevincio Tablet?

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

Can I take ciprofloxacin while I am taking Sevincio Tablet?

How long do I need to take Sevincio Tablet?

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