Your body produces waste products that need to be removed. Kidneys are important for a healthy body because of the work they do to clean your blood. Your kidneys act as a filter, removing the waste products and extra water from your body in the form of urine.
Your kidneys help regulate the levels of vitamins, minerals, and other compounds in your blood in the same way — by filtering out the excess levels into your urine. Another important function of your kidneys is to produce hormones that help control your blood pressure, strengthen your bones, and keep your blood healthy. When kidney function is severely impaired, patients have what is known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). When your kidneys don’t work properly, harmful waste starts to build up in your body. In addition, your blood pressure may rise, your body may hold excess water, and you may feel weak and tired because your body is not producing enough red blood cells. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work that your kidneys are unable to do or you need a kidney transplant. Hyperphosphatemia is a condition defined by high phosphate levels in your blood and is common to patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although you may not notice any symptoms or feel differently at first, this is a serious condition that can lead to additional problems if left untreated. When you have problems with your kidneys, phosphorus levels in your blood go up. This increase in phosphorus changes the healthy balance between levels of phosphorus, calcium, and vitamin D in your blood. Controlling phosphorus, calcium, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) is important because high levels of each can often cause serious problems like bone disease and the formation of mineral deposits in certain areas of your body (for example, kidneys, heart and blood vessels, lungs, eyes, joints, and skin).
To help manage your phosphorus levels, your doctor has prescribed a phosphate binder called Fosrenol (Lanthanum Chewable Tablets). Fosrenol (Lanthanum Chewable Tablets) is used to treat hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients with ESRD. Fosrenol (Lanthanum Chewable Tablets) binds to phosphorus in the stomach, and prevents it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Fosrenol (Lanthanum Chewable Tablets) also helps lower the combination of calcium and phosphorus, the calcium-phosphorus product (Ca x P), a known risk factor for heart disease and other problems.
The starting dose of Fosrenol (Lanthanum Chewable Tablets) is usually a 250- to 500-mg chewable tablet with each meal, every day. This dosage may be adjusted as your physician finds the right one for you. Most patients require one to two 500-mg chewable-only tablets with each meal to control their phosphorus levels. Depending on the dosage your doctor prescribes, you may be taking as little as 1 to 2 tablets with each meal. Your doctor will monitor your phosphorus levels and let you know if it is necessary to change your dose. The most common side effects with Fosrenol (Lanthanum Chewable Tablets) were nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These side effects generally went away over time with continued dosing.
Fosrenol (Lanthanum Chewable Tablets) should not be taken if you are pregnant, nursing or if you are under 18 years of age. Fosrenol (Lanthanum Chewable Tablets) has not been studied in children or in patients who are pregnant or nursing. Patients with acute peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease or bowel obstruction were not included in Fosrenol (Lanthanum Chewable Tablets) clinical studies. Caution should be used in patients with these conditions.
