Phosphate binder
- ↓ dietary phosphate absorption from the gut lumen
- Controls hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease
- Nonselective binding can also trap other drugs — separate dosing
- Binds dietary phosphate in the gut lumen
- Binding is non-selective — other drugs are bound too
Drugs with this mechanism (2)
- Lanthanum carbonate — Chewable, noncalcium phosphate binder for dialysis; lower pill burden than sevelamer.
