Does Revofos cause constipation?
A common side effect of Revofos 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.
Do I need to have any tests while taking Renum?
Yes, serum phosphate levels should be monitored regularly while you are taking Renum. Also, the use of Renum may decrease the levels of vitamin D, A, E, K, and folic acid and hence the levels need to be monitored during the treatment.
Why is it important for me to take Renum?
It is important to take Renum 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 Renum, as it binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract.
Does Renum cause constipation?

How long do I need to take Renum?
Continue taking Renum as long as recommended by your doctor. Renum lowers your dietary phosphate levels but does not cure your disease. Hence, you may have to take it life long, as stopping Renum may result in an increase in your phosphate levels.
Can I take ciprofloxacin while I am taking Renum?
Ciprofloxacin may interfere with the working of Renum and therefore it should not be taken at the same time as Renum. However, if taken together then a gap of at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking Renum should be maintained.
