"I have been on Auryxia for about 3 months. I have renal failure. Have been on peritoneal dialysis since 2019. I take 1 Auryxia and 3 Renvellas with meals. I usually only eat 1 meal a day. I battled severe diarrhea for about 1-2 weeks, every 3 days or so, then it stopped. I don't have any now. I love this drug, my phosphorus was 8-9, now it's dropped to 4. Worried I won't be able to get this drug after 12-31-24 when they discontinue this program I use to get it at no charge. Praying my insurance will find a way!"

"I was on Auryxia for 2 years and had great control and no side effects. The only issue was my iron level finally went through the roof, and they pulled me off at the beginning of 2019. It is now August of 2019, and phosphate is at 8 from 3.7 on Renvela now and will hopefully get this straightened out. I was told that Auryxia is a level 4, top rated, and I was taking 3 pills with meals."

"OMG: projectile vomiting on the lavatory floor while on the toilet, going black diarrhea. Then, waking up at 11:30 pm that night in a puddle of diarrhea. This is after 2 weeks of progressive gastric issues, nausea, and now this. You can have mine."

"I find Auryxia superior to Phoslo and Renvella. In particular, the additional iron has allowed me to stop taking IV iron and avoid anemia. The Renvella also caused excessive farting. The Auryxia does cause flatulence, but less so. Now, why the heck can't Keryx make enough of it to meet demand?"

"I have been taking Auryxia for 7 months, and my phosphorus has been controlled, always staying under 4.5. I usually take four with each meal, and my phosphorus stays at 3.0, as low as 2.4, but I eat all the foods I like, taking a total of 12 pills a day. I love this stuff."

"My wife has been on Auryxia for over 1 1/2 years, this med has caused stomach pain and nausea. Her blood levels recently came back with a 3.5, which is great, and she takes 5 with each meal. Renvela had caused her to feel so full that she wanted to bust."

"Unannounced, explosive, black liquid diarrhea, in large quantities!!! No warning‼️ Switched to Rebels, no problem except that I needed more per meal to control my phosphate level."
