Description
Sevcar Tablet is a medicine commonly prescribed to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have high levels of phosphate in their blood. When the kidneys are not working properly, they cannot remove extra phosphate from the body. This leads to an imbalance that can cause bone problems and other complications. Sevcar Tablet helps regulate phosphate levels, particularly in patients undergoing dialysis.
This medicine contains sevelamer, a type of medication classified as a phosphate binder. It works by binding to the phosphate present in food in the stomach and preventing it from being absorbed into the blood. This helps keep phosphate levels under control and protects the bones and blood vessels from damage caused by high phosphate.
Sevcar Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually along with meals. Taking it with food helps it bind to dietary phosphate more effectively. Do not change your dose or stop taking the medicine on your own, as maintaining stable phosphate levels is crucial for your health.
While using Sevcar Tablet, your doctor may recommend a special diet to help control phosphate intake. It is essential to limit consumption of high-phosphate foods, including dairy products, nuts, beans, and certain soft drinks. Following both medicine and a balanced diet together ensures better results.
Most patients tolerate Sevcar well, but some may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, constipation, or diarrhoea. These are usually mild and temporary. However, if you notice severe abdominal pain, blood in your stools, or persistent digestive issues, contact your doctor immediately. Always keep your healthcare provider informed about any other medicines you are taking.
