Sevcar-800 Tablet contains sevelamer (800 mg) which works on your body as follows:

• Forms ionic bonds with phosphate: Sevelamer binds with phosphate molecules present in your gut. This binding process forms an ionic bond.

• Reduces phosphate absorption: Owing to its ionic bonding with phosphate, sevelamer stops phosphate from being absorbed into your bloodstream. Instead, the sevelamer-phosphate complex is eliminated from your body through the faeces.

• Lowers blood phosphorus levels: By reducing the absorption of phosphate, sevelamer effectively lowers the levels of phosphorus in the blood. This is particularly beneficial for patients on dialysis who often have difficulty excreting excess phosphate.

• Always store your Sevcar-800 Tablet in its original packaging to protect it from moisture.

• Keep the sachet at room temperature.

• Don't leave the sachet open; once opened, use the contents immediately.

• Keep the sachet out of sight and reach of children.

• Ensure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• Since Sevcar-800 Tablet is used to manage high blood phosphate levels, ensure you maintain a low-phosphorous diet. That means limiting foods like dairy products, beans, lentils, nuts, and whole grains.

• Regular physical activity helps improve overall health and can also benefit those with chronic kidney disease. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
