What does it do?

Sevelamer carbonate belongs to the class of phosphate binders and is used to reduce excess phosphate in the blood. It is primarily used in patients with chronic kidney disease to control serum phosphate levels.

Sevelamer carbonate binds with phosphate in the intestine, reducing its absorption. This helps lower serum phosphate levels and maintain phosphate balance in the body.
