Why is it important for me to take Sevalac 800mg Tablet?
It is important to take Sevalac 800mg Tablet 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 Sevalac 800mg Tablet, as it binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract.

A common side effect of Sevalac 800mg Tablet is constipation, though it does not occur in everyone.
