Inophos 400 binds to phosphate in the gut, preventing its absorption and thus lowering serum phosphate levels without affecting calcium, aluminum, or bicarbonate levels.
Inophos 400 mg is indicated for the reduction of serum phosphorus in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Inophos is used for controlling serum phosphorus levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing dialysis. It helps prevent complications related to elevated phosphorus levels, such as secondary hyperparathyroidism, renal bone disease, vascular calcification, and cardiovascular disease. It is a calcium-free, aluminum-free nonabsorbed polymer phosphate binder that works by inhibiting intestinal phosphate absorption when taken with meals.
