I've been on Renvela 0.8gm packets for about six months now to manage my high phosphate levels due to kidney disease. Overall, it's been helpful, but I've had some side effects that I'm not sure are normal. Has anyone else experienced diarrhea, stomach pain, or even more serious issues like difficulty swallowing? I want to make sure I'm not alone in this and get some insights. What is the community's advice on how to manage these side effects effectively? Also, what should I do if I experience a severe reaction? I want to be as informed as possible. I am considering switching to a different medication, but my doctor wasn't completely opposed to me staying on Renvela while we discuss any other potential options. Can anyone else share their experience with Renvela 0.8gm? It might be a game-changer for me to hear firsthand stories on how to better deal with side effects.
