Description
Cabotres 60mg Tablet is a medication primarily used to manage hyperphosphatemia, a condition characterized by abnormally high levels of phosphate in the blood. The active ingredient in Cabotres is Sevelamer Carbonate, a non-calcium, aluminum-free phosphate binder. It works by binding to dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. This action helps to lower serum phosphate levels, which is crucial for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis, as elevated phosphate can lead to serious complications such as secondary hyperparathyroidism, bone disease, and cardiovascular issues.
Cabotres 60mg Tablet is indicated for the control of serum phosphorus in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. It is typically taken with meals to effectively bind phosphate from food. The dosage is determined by the patient’s serum phosphorus level and should be individualized by the prescribing physician. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. It is important to store Cabotres 60mg Tablet at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, and out of reach of children.
