Introduction to Phoscut 800mg Tablet

Phoscut 800mg tablet contains an active ingredient called Sevelamer. It belongs to the medication class known as phosphate binders. It is used to manage hyperphosphatemia (high blood phosphate levels) in adult patients undergoing dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) and patients with chronic kidney disease who have elevated serum phosphorus levels.
