Drug Details
Lanthanum, marketed as Fosrenol, is prescribed to manage high blood phosphate levels in patients undergoing dialysis due to severe kidney disease. Dialysis alone may not sufficiently control phosphate levels, and excessive phosphate can lead to weakened bones, accumulation of harmful minerals, and heightened risks of heart disease and stroke. Lanthanum, a natural mineral, functions as a phosphate binder. It attaches to the phosphate present in your meals, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream, and instead, it is expelled from the body through stool. This process helps maintain bone health and protect kidney function without altering calcium levels. It is important to take Lanthanum with meals for optimal efficacy. Always consult healthcare professionals for personalized medical advice.
