Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablets 2500 Mg

RUDIX SUCRO FE contains Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide (2500 mg), a highly effective phosphate binder used in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing dialysis. It helps control high phosphate levels (hyperphosphatemia) in the blood, reducing the risk of bone disorders, cardiovascular complications, and other phosphate-related issues. Its iron-based composition ensures efficient phosphate binding while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects.

Key Benefits:


Effectively Lowers Phosphate Levels Reduces phosphate absorption in CKD patients on dialysis.
Prevents Bone & Heart Complications Protects against renal osteodystrophy and vascular calcification.
Iron-Based, Non-Calcium Formula Minimizes the risk of hypercalcemia and calcium overload.
Fast-Acting & Well-Tolerated Begins working quickly and causes fewer gastrointestinal issues compared to other phosphate binders.
Convenient Dosage & Administration Requires fewer tablets per day, enhancing patient adherence.
Supports Overall Kidney Health Helps manage phosphorus balance, improving long-term health outcomes in CKD patients.


How Does It Work?


Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide acts as a phosphate binder, meaning it binds to dietary phosphate in the intestines and prevents its absorption into the bloodstream. Instead, the bound phosphate is excreted through the stool, effectively lowering serum phosphate levels. This helps protect the bones, heart, and blood vessels from damage caused by excess phosphorus accumulation.


Directions for Use:


Take as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
The usual recommended dose is 1 tablet with each meal, but the dose may be adjusted based on phosphate levels.
Swallow the tablet whole or chew it before swallowing.
Avoid taking it with other medications, as it may interfere with their absorption.
Regular monitoring of phosphate levels is essential to adjust the dosage accordingly.

Side Effects:


While RUDIX SUCRO FE is generally well-tolerated, some possible side effects include:

Mild gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea, nausea, constipation)
Dark-colored stools due to iron content (this is harmless)
Metallic taste or changes in taste perception
Rare allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
If severe symptoms such as persistent stomach pain, vomiting, or difficulty breathing occur, seek immediate medical attention.
