For Hyperphosphatemia of Renal Failure "My weight is stable at 165 lbs., and my appetite is excellent. I take from 4 to 8 800 mg tablets with each meal, mainly determined by the size of the meal but also factoring in a very rough estimate of the meal's phosphorus content. By doing so, I have consistently had phosphorus levels within the desired range for over a year without side effects. Without this medication, of course, high phosphorus with constant itching."

For Hyperphosphatemia of Renal Failure "This medication caused extreme itching, which was odd to me because it wasn’t listed as a side effect. Most renal failure patients are told high phosphorus in the body causes itching, but I wasn’t experiencing that until I started this medication. Another issue I had was the amount of fluid I had to drink to get the 2-pill dose down. Because I’ve had gastric sleeve, I don’t have room to eat after I took the dose. My phosphorus also went up after starting the medication."
