How it works

Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis Ferric iron binds dietary phosphate in the GI tract and precipitates as ferric phosphate. This compound is insoluble and is excreted in the stool. By binding phosphate in the GI tract and decreasing absorption, ferric citrate lowers the phosphate concentration in the serum. Iron Deficiency Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis Ferric iron is reduced from the ferric to the ferrous form by ferric reductase in the GI tract. After transport through the enterocytes into the blood, oxidized ferric iron circulates bound to the plasma protein transferrin, and can be incorporated into hemoglobin.

Dosing overview

Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis: Starting dose is 2 tablets orally 3 times per day with meals. Adjust dose by 1 to 2 tablets as needed to maintain serum phosphorus at target levels, up to a maximum of 12 tablets daily. Dose can be titrated at 1-week or longer intervals. Iron Deficiency Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis: Starting dose is 1 tablet orally 3 times per day with meals. Adjust dose as needed to achieve and maintain hemoglobin goal, up to a maximum of 12 tablets daily.
