Natcolan 500mg Tablet

Natcolan 500mg tablet contains active components such as Lanthanum carbonate. It is a medication used to treat hyperphosphatemia, characterized by elevated levels of phosphate in the blood, often seen in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It may be used to manage phosphate levels in patients with end-stage renal disease who require hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, along with dietary restrictions and other phosphate binders. In some cases, hyperphosphatemia can occur in individuals with rare genetic disorders or certain metabolic conditions that affect phosphate metabolism. It may be considered in such cases to help control phosphate levels. This medication should be prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional.
