• The preparation is used to lower elevated phosphate levels in the blood.
• The preparation is used in cases of chronic kidney failure with indicated dialysis.
• If you do not feel better or if you feel worse after eight days, consult your doctor.

• Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
• Unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor, the recommended dose is:
  • Adult:
    • for breakfast: 1-2 film-coated tablets
    • with a snack: 1-2 film-coated tablets
    • with the main meal: 2-6 film-coated tablets
    • for dinner: 2-4 film-coated tablets
• The dosage varies from patient to patient. Since the preparation binds the phosphate from food, the number of film-coated tablets should be adjusted according to the amount of food consumed (portion size) and thus the amount of phosphate ingested. (For example, 4 film-coated tablets for breakfast with only one sandwich with jam would lead to a calcium excess and thus a risk of elevated blood calcium levels. On the other hand, just 2 film-coated tablets with a substantial midday meal may be too few to bind the larger amount of phosphate ingested with the main meal (i.e., not sufficiently effective).
• Please follow the instructions for use, otherwise the product may not work as expected!

  • Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have taken more medicine than indicated in this leaflet or prescribed by your doctor.

• If you forget to take it
  • Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Continue treatment as directed by your doctor.
