How should I take Renagel?
Take Renagel exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Take Renagel with meals. Do not crush, chew, or break the Renagel tablet. Swallow the pill whole. Renagel tablets expand when they are wet, and breaking or crushing the pill may make it harder to swallow. To be sure this medication is helping your condition and not causing harmful effects, your blood may need to be tested on a regular basis. Do not miss any scheduled appointments. Renagel may be only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes a special diet. It is very important to follow the diet plan created for you by your doctor or nutrition counselor. You should become very familiar with the list of foods you must eat or avoid to help control your condition. Store Renagel tablets at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
