| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Antihyper-phosphatemic. | [Brand name]
Renagel (Genzyme). | [Pharmaceutical Applications]
In patients on dialysis, Sevelamer or lanthanum salts can be used to maintain normal phosphate blood levels. Sevelamer is a polymer containing amine
groups. These protonated amine groups can react with the negatively charged phosphate groups via ionic binding
and prevent absorption of phosphate from the gut. Sevelamer is a hydrogel containing cross-linked polyallylamine chains. The negatively charged phosphate can be bound to the positively charged amine groups of the hydrogel in the intestines and removed via the faeces. | [Clinical Use]
Phosphate-binding agent | [Drug interactions]
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Antibacterials: reduces bioavailability of
ciprofloxacin.
Ciclosporin: possibly reduces ciclosporin
concentration.
Calcitriol: absorption may be impaired by sevelamer.
Mycophenolate: may reduce mycophenolate levels.
Tacrolimus: possibly reduces tacrolimus
concentration.
Thyroid hormones: possibly reduces levothyroxine
concentration. | [Metabolism]
Sevelamer is not systemically absorbed. |
