Zynagel 800 MG Tablet 10 contains sevelamer (800 mg), which works within your body as follows:

• Phosphate Binding: Sevelamer acts by binding dietary phosphate within the digestive tract.

• Decreases Blood Phosphate Levels: By binding to dietary phosphate and preventing its absorption from the gut, sevelamer effectively reduces phosphorus concentration in the bloodstream.

• Store Zynagel 800 MG Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place with temperatures not exceeding 25°C.

• Keep it out of reach and sight of children to avoid accidental ingestion.

• Avoid exposure to excessive light and moisture as it may affect the medicine's potency.

• Always check the expiry date on the pack before use.

• If you're on dialysis due to chronic kidney disease, consuming a low-phosphorus diet can further help manage your blood phosphate levels. This includes avoiding foods like dairy, nuts, beans, and whole grains.

• Regular exercise is beneficial for overall health but consult your doctor before starting any new fitness routine, to ensure it's safe for your condition.
