Xphozah

What is Xphozah used for?

Tenapanor is used to lower high blood phosphate levels in people who are on dialysis due to long-term kidney disease. Dialysis removes some phosphate from your blood, but it is difficult to remove enough to keep your phosphate levels balanced. This medication works by decreasing how much phosphate your body absorbs from the foods you eat. Decreasing blood phosphate levels can help keep your bones strong, prevent unsafe buildup of minerals in your body, and may decrease the risk of heart disease and strokes that can result from high phosphate levels. This medication must not be used by children younger than 6 years due to the risk for harm (especially serious dehydration).
