Renagel Uses
RENAGEL is used to treat high levels of phosphorus in patients with kidney disease.
Renagel Precautions

RENAGEL should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is not known whether RENAGEL is excreted into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Renagel Drug Interactions

If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately.
Renagel Notes
Do not share RENAGEL with others. Laboratory and/or medical tests may be performed to monitor for side effects or response to treatment. A special diet may be necessary to help control the amount of phosphorus in your body. Consult your doctor.
