FAQs
Is Sevincio Tablet taken with food?
Yes, Sevincio Tablet 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 Sevincio Tablet works by binding to phosphate from food. Take it exactly as advised by your doctor.

No, you should not crush, chew, or break Sevincio Tablet into pieces. You should swallow it as a whole with water.
Why is it important for me to take Sevincio Tablet?
It is important to take Sevincio Tablet 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 Sevincio Tablet, as it binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract.

The other common side effects of the stomach and intestine include diarrhea, indigestion, flatulence, and pain in the abdomen. Immediately consult your doctor if these side effects become severe and disturb you.
