WHAT FEXERIC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fexeric
contains ferric citrate coordination complex as the active ingredient.
In adults with impaired
kidney function it is used to lower high blood phosphorus levels.
Phosphorus is contained in many foods. Patients with kidneys that do
not work properly are not able to
eliminate phosphorus from their body adequately. This can lead to high
phosphorus levels in the
blood. Keeping the phosphorus level normal is important to maintain
healthy bones and blood vessels
and to prevent itchy skin, red eyes, bone pain or bone fractures.
Fexeric
binds to the phosphorus from food in your digestive tract to prevent
it from being absorbed
into your blood. The Fexeric
-
bound phosphorus is then excreted from your body in faeces.
You may have been advised to follow a special diet to prevent the
phosphorus in your blood rising to
high levels. If this is the case, y
