FAQ's on Renasel 800mg Tablet

Is Renasel taken with food?

Yes, Renasel can be taken with food. It is recommended to take 1-2 tablets (based on individual needs) thrice daily. It is important to take it with meals because Renasel works by binding to phosphate from food. Take it exactly as advised by your doctor.

How long do I need to take Renasel?

Continue taking Renasel as long as recommended by your doctor. Renasel lowers your dietary phosphate levels but does not cure your disease. Hence, you may have to take it life long, as stopping Renasel may result in an increase in your phosphate levels.

Can I take ciprofloxacin while I am taking Renasel?

Ciprofloxacin may interfere with the working of Renasel and therefore it should not be taken at the same time as Renasel. However, if taken together then a gap of at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking Renasel should be maintained.

Do I need to have any tests while taking Renasel?

Yes, serum phosphate levels should be monitored regularly while you are taking Renasel. Also, the use of Renasel may decrease the levels of vitamin D, A, E, K, and folic acid and hence the levels need to be monitored during the treatment.

Does Renasel cause constipation?

A common side effect of Renasel is constipation, though it does not occur in everyone. The other common side effects of stomach and intestine include diarrhea, indigestion, flatulence, and pain in abdomen. Immediately consult your doctor if these side effects become severe and disturb you.

Can Renasel be crushed?

No, you should not crush, chew, or break Renasel into pieces. You should swallow it as a whole with water.

Who should not take Renasel?

Patients who are allergic to Renasel and who have low levels of phosphate in blood should avoid taking Renasel. Additionally, patients having intestinal obstruction should also avoid using Renasel.

Why is it important for me to take Renasel?

It is important to take Renasel as patients undergoing dialysis cannot control the phosphate levels in their blood, especially after a meal. When the level of phosphate exceeds above the range in the blood, it may cause problems such as itchy skin, red eyes, high blood pressure, bone pain, and also increase the risk of fractures. These increased serum phosphate levels are reduced by Renasel, as it binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract.
