Comment from: Manfred 55-64 Male 5 to less than 10 years Patient Published: May 16

I grind the tablets in a coffee grinder into powder. Thus the taste is better, dosage is easier. And (maybe I am strange?) I really love the sweetish taste.

Home Hemodialysis patient. Phosphorus was at 11.0 while taking a Renagel pill then my nutritionist suggested I try Fosrenol (2 500mg chewable tablets with meals and snacks) lowered my phosphorus to 3.5. (range is 3.5-5.5) Taste like tums. No stomach problems or nausea. Love this product!

This is as bad as renvela. Started out just fine, but have chronic gas, stomach pains, and SEVEARE constipation from it, and that is taking only one or two a day.

Currently on Dialysis for end stage renal failure. Monthly blood work up indicates phosporis leval to be normal. I chew 1 1000mg tab immediately after each meal and snack. Great product for keeping me straight!!

Comment from: Female 6 months to less than 1 year Caregiver Published: October 14

Am trying to find out if anyone has experienced MONTHS of nausea and vomiting as a result of taking Fosrenol. At first, it was intermittent. Now, the N&V are occurring on a daily basis and I am scheduled for an abdominal sonogram next week. Could it be the Fosrenol?
