Safely Buy Fosrenol ( Lanthanum carbonate hydrate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

What Is Fosrenol Used For 

Lanthanum carbonate is the active ingredient of Fosrenol; it belongs to the class of phosphate binders that reduces the absorption of phosphorus in the body, especially in patients with severe kidney disease or ESRD end-stage renal disease. Phosphate is necessary for building strong teeth and bones and other body functions; the kidney is responsible for keeping phosphorus levels in the body. When the kidney fails to work appropriately, phosphates tend to build up in the blood; high phosphate levels will make it hard for the body to absorb calcium, leading to serious medical problems like hyperphosphatemia. Lanthanum prevents absorption by binding to the phosphates in the foods being eaten, carrying it to the digestive tract, and excreted through the stool.
