Related Faqs
Do I need to have any tests while taking Pebind?
Yes, serum phosphate levels should be monitored regularly while you are taking Pebind. Also, the use of Pebind may decrease the levels of vitamin D, A, E, K, and folic acid and hence the levels need to be monitored during the treatment.
Can Pebind be crushed?
No, you should not crush, chew, or break Pebind into pieces. You should swallow it as a whole with water.
Is Pebind taken with food?
Yes, Pebind 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 Pebind works by binding to phosphate from food. Take it exactly as advised by your doctor.
Why is it important for me to take Pebind?
It is important to take Pebind 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 Pebind, as it binds phosphate from food in the digestive tract.
Can I take ciprofloxacin while I am taking Pebind?
Ciprofloxacin may interfere with the working of Pebind and therefore it should not be taken at the same time as Pebind. However, if taken together then a gap of at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking Pebind should be maintained.
How long do I need to take Pebind?
Continue taking Pebind as long as recommended by your doctor. Pebind lowers your dietary phosphate levels but does not cure your disease. Hence, you may have to take it life long, as stopping Pebind may result in an increase in your phosphate levels.
