Phosphate binder
open-in-new
<p>Phosphate binders are <a href="/facts/Medication/h9mhwWP2">medications</a> used to reduce the absorption of dietary <a href="/facts/Phosphate/FDGVCxUG">phosphate</a>; they are taken along with meals and snacks. They are frequently used in people with <a href="/facts/Chronic_kidney_failure/4YKH9wpo">chronic kidney failure</a> (CKF), who are less able to excrete phosphate, resulting in an elevated serum phosphate. </p>
