WHAT TASERMITY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tasermity contains sevelamer as the active ingredient. It binds
phosphate from food in the digestive
tract and so reduces serum phosphate levels in the blood.
Tasermity 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.
Tasermity may be used with other medicines which include calcium or
vitamin D supplements to
control the development of renal bone disease.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Starting dose_
The recommended starting dose of sevelamer hydrochloride is 2.4 g or
4.8 g per day based on clinical
needs and serum phosphorus level. Sevelamer hydrochloride must be
taken three times per day with
meals.
Serum phosphate level in patients not on
phosphate binders
Starting dose of Sevelamer
hydrochloride 800 mg tablets
1.76 – 2.42 mmol/L (5.5-7.5 mg/dl)
1 tablet, 3 times per day
> 2.42 mmol/L (>7.5 mg/dl)
2 tablets, 3 times per day
For patients previously on phosphate binders, Sevelamer hydrochloride
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 0.8 g three times per day (2.4 g/day) increments with the goal of
lowering serum phosphate to 1.76
mmol/L (5.5 mg/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 5 tablets of 800 mg per meal.
