FOSRENOL

Fosrenol (lanthanum carbonate) is a medication used to control high phosphate levels in people with chronic kidney disease, especially those on dialysis. Elevated phosphate can weaken bones and cause other health issues. Fosrenol works by binding to phosphate in the digestive system, preventing its absorption into the blood. It is usually taken with meals to effectively reduce phosphate levels and help maintain a healthier balance of minerals in the body. As with any medication, it should be taken under medical supervision to ensure proper use and monitoring.
