No, you should not crush, chew, or break Sevlaren 800 Tablet into pieces. You should swallow it as a whole with water.

Why is it important for me to take Sevlaren 800 Tablet?

It is important to take Sevlaren 800 Tablet as patients undergoing dialysis cannot control the phosphate levels in their blood, especially after a meal.

These increased serum phosphate levels are reduced by Sevlaren 800 Tablet, as it binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract.
