Correction of hyperphosphataemia associated with chronic renal failure in patients undergoing dialysis.
For oral use.
Initially one tablet 3 times a day. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a meal to achieve the maximal phosphate binding effect. Where the patient cannot swallow the tablets whole they may be broken and taken with food. Tablets, whether whole or broken, should not be chewed due to their bitter taste. The dose can be increased until the desired serum phosphate level is achieved, as long as hypercalcaemia does not occur. Most patients need 4 to 6 tablets per day (1 to 2 tablets with each meal).
The maximum recommended daily dose is 12 tablets.
