FAQ's on Renoshell 400 Tablet

Why is it important for me to take Renoshell?

It is important to take Renoshell as patients undergoing dialysis cannot control the phosphate levels in their blood, especially after a meal. When the level of phosphate exceeds above the range in the blood, it may cause problems such as itchy skin, red eyes, high blood pressure, bone pain, and also increase the risk of fractures. These increased serum phosphate levels are reduced by Renoshell, as it binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract.

Can I take ciprofloxacin while I am taking Renoshell?

Ciprofloxacin may interfere with the working of Renoshell and therefore it should not be taken at the same time as Renoshell. However, if taken together then a gap of at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking Renoshell should be maintained.

Can Renoshell be crushed?

No, you should not crush, chew, or break Renoshell into pieces. You should swallow it as a whole with water.

Does Renoshell cause constipation?

A common side effect of Renoshell is constipation, though it does not occur in everyone. The other common side effects of stomach and intestine include diarrhea, indigestion, flatulence, and pain in abdomen. Immediately consult your doctor if these side effects become severe and disturb you.

Is Renoshell taken with food?

Yes, Renoshell can be taken with food. It is recommended to take 1-2 tablets (based on individual needs) thrice daily. It is important to take it with meals because Renoshell works by binding to phosphate from food. Take it exactly as advised by your doctor.

Do I need to have any tests while taking Renoshell?

Yes, serum phosphate levels should be monitored regularly while you are taking Renoshell. Also, the use of Renoshell may decrease the levels of vitamin D, A, E, K, and folic acid and hence the levels need to be monitored during the treatment.

How long do I need to take Renoshell?

Continue taking Renoshell as long as recommended by your doctor. Renoshell lowers your dietary phosphate levels but does not cure your disease. Hence, you may have to take it life long, as stopping Renoshell may result in an increase in your phosphate levels.

Who should not take Renoshell?

Patients who are allergic to Renoshell and who have low levels of phosphate in blood should avoid taking Renoshell. Additionally, patients having intestinal obstruction should also avoid using Renoshell.
