Product Details

Lophos Tablets are designed to help manage hyperphosphatemia, a condition of elevated phosphate levels in the blood, commonly found in patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly those undergoing dialysis. These tablets work by reducing the absorption of phosphate in the digestive system, helping to maintain normal phosphate levels and prevent related health issues such as bone disease and cardiovascular problems.

Purposes

The primary purpose of Lophos Tablets is to manage phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease. By limiting phosphate absorption, these tablets help prevent complications that arise from high phosphate levels, such as weakened bones and cardiovascular damage. Tablets are an essential part of the treatment regimen for dialysis patients.

Warnings

Patients taking Tablets should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions carefully, especially if they have a history of gastrointestinal disorders or hypercalcemia. Regular monitoring of phosphate and calcium levels may be necessary to ensure effective treatment. It is important to avoid consuming meals high in phosphate, such as dairy products, around the time of taking the medication.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Tablets include gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, or constipation. Some patients may experience abdominal bloating or discomfort. If the tablets contain calcium, hypercalcemia may occur, leading to symptoms like confusion, fatigue, or irregular heartbeats. Rarely, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling may occur.

Cautions

Before starting Tablets, inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications, particularly calcium or phosphate supplements. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if severe side effects or allergic reactions occur. Keep Tablets out of reach of children, and consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
