WHAT RENAGEL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Renagel contains sevelamer as the active ingredient. It binds
phosphate from food in the digestive tract
and so reduces serum phosphate levels in the blood.
Renagel is used to control the levels of phosphate in the blood of
adult kidney failure patients on
haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis treatment.
Adult patients whose kidneys have failed and who are undergoing
haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
are not able to control the level of serum phosphate in their blood.
The amount of phosphate then rises
(your doctor will call this hyperphosphataemia). Increased levels of
serum phosphorus can lead to hard
deposits in your body called calcification. These deposits can stiffen
your blood vessels and make it
harder for blood to be pumped around the body. Increased serum
phosphorus can also lead to itchy
skin, red eyes, bone pain and fractures.
Renagel may be used with other medicines which include calcium or
vitamin D supplements to control
the development of renal bone disease.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Renagel is indicated for the control of hyperphosphataemia in adult
patients receiving haemodialysis
or peritoneal dialysis. Renagel should be used within the context of a
multiple therapeutic approach,
which could include calcium supplements, 1,25-dihydroxy Vitamin D

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Starting dose_
The recommended starting dose of sevelamer hydrochloride is 2.4 g, 3.6
g or 4.8 g per day based on
clinical needs and serum phosphorus level. Renagel must be taken three
times per day with meals.
Serum phosphate level in patients not on
phosphate binders
Starting dose of Renagel 400 mg
tablets
1.76 – 2.42 mmol/L (5.5-7.5 mg/dl)
2 tablets, 3 times per day
2.42- 2.91 mmol/L (7.5-9 mg/dl)
3 tablets, 3 times per day
> 2.91 mmol/L
4 tablets, 3 times per day
For patients previously on phosphate binders, Renagel should be given
on a gram for gram basis with
monitoring of serum phosphorus levels to ensure optimal daily doses.
_Titration and maintenance _
Serum phosphate levels should be closely monitored and the dose of
sevelamer hydrochloride titrated
by 0.4 g or 0.8 g three times per day (1.2 g/day or 2.4 g/day)
increments with the goal of lowering
serum phosphate to 1.76 mmol/L (5.5mg/dl)
or less. Serum phosphate should be tested every two to
three weeks until a stable serum phosphate level is reached and on a
regular basis thereafter.

The dose range may vary between 1 and 10 tablets per meal. The average
actual daily dose used in the
chronic phase of a one year clinical st
