WHAT SEVELAMER CARBONATE WINTHROP IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sevelamer carbonate Winthrop contains the active substance sevelamer
carbonate. It binds phosphate from
food in the digestive tract and so reduces serum phosphorus levels in
the blood.
This medicine is used to control hyperphosphataemia (high blood
phosphate levels) in:
•
adult patients on dialysis (a blood clearance technique). It can be
used in patients undergoing
haemodialysis (using a blood filtration machine) or peritoneal
dialysis (where fluid is pumped into the
abdomen and an internal body membrane filters the blood);
•
patients with chronic (long-term) kidney disease who are not on
dialysis and have a serum (blood)
phosphorus level equal to or above 1.78 mmol/L.
This medicine should be used with other treatments such as calcium
supplements and vitamin D to prevent
the development of bone disease.
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 b

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Sevelamer carbonate Winthrop is indicated for the control of
hyperphosphataemia in adult patients receiving
haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
Sevelamer carbonate Winthrop is also indicated for the control of
hyperphosphataemia in adult patients with
chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on dialysis with serum phosphorus ≥
1.78 mmol/L.
Sevelamer carbonate Winthrop should be used within the context of a
multiple therapeutic approach, which
could include calcium supplement, 1,25-dihydroxy Vitamin D
3
or one of its analogues to control the
development of renal bone disease.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Starting dose _
The recommended starting dose of sevelamer carbonate is 2.4 g or 4.8 g
per day based on clinical needs and
serum phosphorus level. Sevelamer carbonate Winthrop must be taken
three times per day with meals.
Serum phosphorus level in patients
Total daily dose of sevelamer carbonate to be
taken over 3 meals per day
1.78 – 2.42 mmol/L (5.5 – 7.5 mg/dl)
2.4 g*
> 2.42 mmol/L (> 7.5 mg/dl)
4.8 g*
*Plus subsequent titrating, see section “Titration and
maintenance”
For patients previously on phosphate binders (sevelamer hydrochloride
or calcium based), Sevelamer
carbonate Winthrop should be given on a gram for gram basis with
monitoring of serum phosphorus levels to
ensure optimal daily doses.
_Titration and maintenance _
Serum phosphorus levels must be monitored and the dose of sevelamer
carbonate titrated by 0.8 g three
times per day (2.4 g/day) increments every 2-4 weeks until an
acceptable serum phosphorus level is reached,
