Effects of this medicine
In patients with chronic renal failure, this medicine adsorbs uremic toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, so that they are excreted in the feces. This alleviates uremic symptoms such as loss of appetite, bad breath, nausea and itchiness, making it possible to delay initiation of dialysis.
Usually, it is used to alleviate uremic symptoms and delay dialysis initiation in patients with progressive chronic renal failure.
