Phosphate Binder Agents

Phosphate binder agents are a therapeutic class of medications used to control serum phosphorus levels in patients with hyperphosphatemia The class encompasses calcium-based binders, non-calcium polymers such as sevelamer, lanthanum carbonate, and iron-based formulations They are principally indicated for the management of hyperphosphatemia in individuals with advanced chronic kidney disease, particularly those undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, to prevent complications such as seco...
