Velphoro (sucroferric oxyhydroxide) is a prescription medication used to control phosphorus levels in the blood of adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. Phosphorus, a mineral found in many foods, can build up in the bloodstream when the kidneys are not functioning properly, leading to serious health problems. Velphoro works by binding to dietary phosphorus in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby reducing its absorption into the bloodstream. This medication comes in the form of chewable tablets and is typically taken with meals. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions regarding diet, dosage, and other medications to ensure the best possible outcome.
