Product Description

Name: Foseal 400mg
Brand: Foseal
SKU: 939
Availability: OutOfStock

The active ingredient in Foseal 400 mg tablet is Sevelamer, which reduces serum phosphorous levels in the blood. Sevelamer adheres phosphate from food in the digestive tract to control hyperphosphatemia (high blood phosphate levels) in adult patients on dialysis. It can also be given to patients with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis. Your doctor may prescribe Foseal tablets in combination with other medicines such as vitamin D and calcium supplements to prevent the development of bone disorders. High levels of phosphorous in the bloodstream can cause a hard deposit in your body called calcification. This deposition ultimately leads to no stiffening of blood vessels, making it harder to pump blood around the body. The symptoms of increased serum phosphate levels include red eyes, itchy skin, and fractures.

How To Use

You must take Foseal tablets as prescribed by your doctor. Generally, the dose is based on the level of phosphorous in your blood. The usual recommended dose for adults and elderly patients is one to two tablets of 400 mg with each meal thrice daily. Your dosing regimen may differ from the one given here. Therefore, consult your doctor for the correct dosing regimen. Swallow the tablet with enough water. Do not chew crush the tablet. Patients receiving Sevelamer therapy should adhere to their prescribed diets.

Precautions

Do not take Foseal 400 mg tablet in the following conditions:

If you have a bowel obstruction
If you have low levels of phosphate in your bloodstream
If you are hypersensitive or sevelamer or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine.

You should talk to your doctor while taking Sevelamer if you experience severe abdominal pain, intestine disorders, or blood in the stool. These symptoms could be an indication of a serious inflammatory disease. Contact your doctor if you can continue the treatment or not.

Also, let your doctor know if any of the following applies to you:

If you have swallowing problems
If you have prolonged diarrhoea or pain in the abdomen
If you are on dialysis
If you have problems with movement
If you have undergone major surgery on your stomach

Side Effects

Common side effects include vomiting, nausea, indigestion, abdominal pain, constipation, flatulence, and diarrhoea. If you get any of these side effects, please talk to your doctor.

FAQ

What is Foseal 400mg used for?

Foseal 400mg contains sevelamer, a medicine that binds phosphorus in your food before your body absorbs it. Your kidneys normally remove extra phosphorus through urine, but if your kidneys don't work well, phosphorus builds up in your blood and can damage your bones and blood vessels. You take Foseal 400mg tablets by mouth with meals to lower high phosphorus levels if you have chronic kidney disease and are on dialysis treatment.

Who is Foseal 400mg meant for, and is it right for me?

Foseal 400mg is meant for adults with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis [a treatment that filters waste from blood when kidneys don't work properly]. It helps control phosphorus levels in your blood. Your doctor prescribes it based on blood tests and your kidney condition—not all kidney patients need it. Only your doctor can decide if it's right for you by reviewing your medical history, current medicines, and kidney function. Don't start or stop it without discussing this with your doctor or kidney specialist first.

Should I take Foseal 400mg with food, and does the time of day matter?

Take Foseal 400mg with meals or immediately after eating. Sevelamer (the active ingredient) works by binding to phosphate in food, so taking it with food helps it work effectively. The exact time of day doesn't matter — what matters is that you take it with food each time. Take your doses consistently with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or whenever you eat your main meals. Never take Foseal on an empty stomach, as it won't work properly without food present.

How much Foseal 400mg should I take, and how often?

Your doctor will tell you your exact dose based on your phosphate [a mineral in your blood] levels and kidney function. Foseal 400mg tablets are usually taken with meals, typically two to three times daily, but your dose may be different. Take exactly the number of tablets your doctor prescribes at each meal. Swallow them whole with water. Do not change your dose without speaking to your doctor first, as the right amount is important for managing your phosphate levels safely.

Is Foseal 400mg suitable for long-term use, or is it a short-term treatment?

Foseal 400mg is suitable for long-term use. Sevelamer (the active ingredient) is designed to be taken regularly over extended periods to help manage phosphate levels in your blood, particularly if you have kidney disease or are on dialysis. Your doctor will determine the right dose for you and monitor your progress with regular blood tests. Long-term treatment helps prevent serious complications from phosphate buildup. Continue taking Foseal exactly as prescribed unless your doctor advises otherwise.

How quickly will I notice Foseal 400mg working?

Foseal 400mg starts working in your body right away when you take it, but you won't feel immediate effects like you might with pain relief tablets. Sevelamer (the active ingredient) works by binding phosphorus in your food in your digestive system. Your doctor will check your phosphorus levels with blood tests over weeks to see if Foseal is working properly for you. Most people need several weeks of regular use before blood tests show improvement. Keep taking it exactly as prescribed.

Can Foseal 400mg cause an allergic reaction, and what should I look for?

Yes, Foseal 400mg can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Watch for signs like itching, rash, hives, or swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. You may also experience difficulty breathing or chest tightness. If you notice any of these symptoms after taking Foseal, stop taking it and seek immediate medical help. Tell your doctor about any known allergies before starting this medicine, especially to sevelamer or any inactive ingredients in the tablet. Allergic reactions are uncommon but require urgent attention.

Are there any serious warning signs I should watch out for with Foseal 400mg?

Foseal 400mg is generally well tolerated, but contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe constipation, difficulty swallowing, or signs of intestinal blockage (persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, inability to pass stool). Seek urgent care if you have signs of allergic reaction (rash, swelling of face or throat, difficulty breathing). If you have a history of bowel obstruction or severe digestive problems, tell your doctor before starting Foseal. Report any concerning symptoms promptly rather than waiting for a routine appointment.

Which medicines should I avoid while using Foseal 400mg?

Foseal works in your stomach and bowel, so it can reduce how much medicine your body absorbs from other tablets or capsules you take by mouth. To be safe, take other medicines at least one hour before or three hours after Foseal. This includes antibiotics, blood pressure medicines, and vitamin supplements. Some medicines may need different timing — ask your pharmacist or doctor which of your current medicines need spacing out. Never stop or change any medicine without speaking to your doctor first.

Can vitamins or herbal remedies interfere with Foseal 400mg?

Foseal binds to phosphate in your gut, so it may reduce how well your body absorbs some vitamins and minerals, particularly fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). Herbal remedies can vary widely, and some may interact with how Foseal works. Take any vitamin supplements at least one hour before or three hours after your Foseal dose to reduce interference. Always tell your doctor about all vitamins and herbal remedies you use before starting Foseal—they'll check for safe combinations with your other medicines.

Is Foseal 400mg safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Foseal 400mg has not been adequately studied in pregnant women, so safety during pregnancy is unknown. Your doctor should decide whether the benefits outweigh potential risks for your situation. Limited data exists on sevelamer (the active ingredient) passing into breast milk. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, discuss Foseal 400mg with your healthcare provider before taking it. Do not stop taking it without medical guidance, as your kidney condition management is important.

Are there any groups of people who should be extra careful when using Foseal 400mg?

Foseal 400mg requires extra caution in certain groups. If you have trouble swallowing, severe digestive disorders, or bowel obstruction, tell your doctor before taking this medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor first. People with low vitamin levels need monitoring, as Foseal can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). If you're taking other medicines, inform your doctor, as Foseal may affect their absorption. Those with severe kidney disease should discuss use with their healthcare provider. Always follow your doctor's guidance for your specific situation.

Which strength of Foseal 400mg is most commonly recommended?

Foseal 400mg is the standard strength most commonly prescribed. Your doctor will determine if this dose suits your needs based on your kidney function and phosphate levels. Some patients may need higher or lower strengths depending on how well their body responds to treatment. Always take the exact strength your doctor recommends, as phosphate control requires personalised dosing. Your doctor may adjust your strength over time with regular blood tests.

What should I discuss with my doctor before starting Foseal 400mg?

Before starting Foseal 400mg, tell your doctor about any allergies you have, especially to sevelamer. Mention all medicines you take, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as they may interact. Discuss any stomach or bowel problems, swallowing difficulties, or recent surgery. Let your doctor know if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant. Also report any kidney disease or other serious health conditions. Your doctor needs this information to ensure Foseal is safe and right for you.
