NEUVEL belongs to a group of medications called 'phosphate binder' (which decrease the level of phosphate in the body).
NEUVEL is primarily used to control high phosphate level in the body (hyperphosphataemia) in adult patients on dialysis (a blood clearance technique), and patients with chronic kidney disease. It is also used for the treatment of bone disease.
NEUVEL contains sevelamer carbonate that works by binding phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract and decreasing absorption. It effectively reduces excess phosphate levels in the blood and prevents the unsafe build-up of phosphate in your body, helps to keep your bones strong, and decreases the risk of heart disease and strokes.
NEUVEL can be taken with a meal with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break the tablet. The doctor will suggest the right way of taking medicines after checking the dosing form.
