Medicine information
Uses & overview
RUDIX SUCRO FEE by Steris Healthcare contains Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide 2500 mg in chewable tablet form. It is an iron-based phosphate binder used to reduce the absorption of dietary phosphate in the digestive tract and help manage elevated serum phosphorus levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. Sucroferric oxyhydroxide works locally in the gastrointestinal tract by binding dietary phosphate. The resulting phosphate-containing complex is then eliminated through the digestive system, helping reduce the amount of phosphate absorbed into the bloodstream. RUDIX SUCRO FEE should be taken with meals and used according to the dosage prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. The required dose may vary depending on the patient's serum phosphate level, diet, and response to treatment. Regular monitoring of serum phosphate levels is generally recommended.
How to use
Take RUDIX SUCRO FEE exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The tablets should be chewed thoroughly and should not be swallowed whole. Take the prescribed dose with meals, as directed by your healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your blood phosphate levels and response to treatment. Sucroferric oxyhydroxide can affect the absorption of some orally administered medicines. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines, vitamins, and supplements you are taking and follow any recommended time interval between medicines.
