Phosphate binders

Tablets that help prevent a build-up of phosphate in the body. Phosphate binders combine with phosphate in food so that it passes it out of the body in the faeces. The most commonly used phosphate binders are calcium carbonate (e.g., Calcichew) and aluminium hydroxide (e.g., Alucaps).
