Fosrenol (active ingredient: lanthanum carbonate hydrate) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease: Fosrenol is used for the reduction of serum phosphate levels in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who require dialysis.

Fosrenol belongs to a class of drugs known as phosphate binders, which work by binding to dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby reducing its absorption and helping to maintain normal phosphate levels in the body.

Fosrenol comes in chewable tablet form, with doses available in 250 mg, 500mg, 750mg, and 1000mg. It is typically taken with meals or snacks, and dosages vary depending on a patient’s serum phosphate levels and other factors. To take Fosrenol, chew or crush tablets completely before swallowing. Do not swallow intact tablets, especially if you have poor dentition. Take Fosrenol with or immediately after meals.

The recommended initial total daily dose of Fosrenol is 1500 mg. Titrate the dose every 2-3 weeks until an acceptable serum phosphate level is reached. Monitor serum phosphate levels as needed during dose titration and on a regular basis thereafter. Most patients required a total daily dose between 1500 mg and 3000 mg to reduce plasma phosphate levels to less than 6.0 mg/dL. In clinical studies of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), Fosrenol doses up to 4500 mg were evaluated.
