Discussions tagged “PhosphorusLevels”

As someone with kidney disease and on dialysis, I've been prescribed Renvela 2.4gm Packets to help manage my high phosphorus levels. It's been a game-changer, but I've also experienced some side effects that have been challenging. I've heard from others that they've had a mix of experiences with this medication. Some have had it easy, and others have had a more difficult time. I'm curious to hear from others who are taking Renvela—what has your experience been like? Specifically, have you dealt with any of the more serious side effects, like difficulty swallowing or new or worsening constipation? How have you managed them? Any tips or tricks to make the best of this medication would be greatly appreciated! If you're not on Renvela, what other medications have you tried, and how did they compare?
