Sevelamer
I have been taking Sevelamer for about three years to control high phosphorous levels caused by kidney failure. Before this medication I have been on another drug aimed at the same purpose but it was not that effective and lots more expensive. With Sevelamer dealing with my health problems grew easier and not that painful. I haven't observed any side effects unlike when on other medications. Everything is absolutely easy and smooth - I just take a pill after each meal and have no problems afterwards. My previous drug that my doctor prescribed to treat high blood levels of phosphorus caused me constipation and even blood in my stool sometimes. I was afraid that that were common side effects of the similar medications but luckily with Sevelamer - don't have such problems. It is really a very effective medication as my blood tests show that the phosphorous levels get back to normal pretty soon after I take Sevelamer. Besides it is very convenient for me to have the opportunity to order this medication online without leaving my house.

For about 7 years I have been suffering from kidney problems and as a result I have to take constant control over my phosphorous levels and I have regular hemodialysis. I have been on Sevelamer for two years now. Before I have been taking another medication and that was not very effective, neither pleasant to administer for me. The pills used to make me sick and I had problems with my bowel. One day I could have constipation, yet on another day the condition switched to diarrhea. Sometimes I had unexpected vomiting or fatigue. Sevelamer is a way better - no such side effects (to tell you the truth, no side effects at all!), it provides better influence on my blood phosphorous levels (it is clear from my blood tests) and I feel better too. I got a new friend in the hospital - she undergoes the same treatment as me and when I told her about Sevelamer and the way I benefit from it, she asked her doctor to switch her to this medication as well and now she's been on Sevelamer for half a year. Her results are also very positive and she's happy with Sevelamer, happier than she was before switched to it. So, I recommend Sevelamer for everyone whose blood phosphorous levels are higher than normal - it is very effective and trouble-free.

I got pregnant at the age of 36. It was a bit late probably as the pregnancy was a real torture for me. After pregnancy I developed several health problems I haven't had before. Some of them are really serious and create a lot of discomfort for me. One of such problems is kidney failure. The problem with my kidneys is that I have to take medications to control my blood phosphorous levels. My baby is 4 years old now and it's been 4 years since I started taking medications to control phosphorous levels regularly. Besides I need have my blood purified and to achieve that I undergo hemodialysis every once in a while. For the latest 2 years I have been on Sevelamer. This drug makes my life a bit easier as it effectively normalizes my blood phosphorous levels and causes no side effects. I take Sevelamer three times a day and I do my best to follow the regimen. I don't know why I am punished so severely but I am happy that my baby is absolutely healthy! Before my case there was not a single case of kidney failure in our family, I used to lead a healthy way of life, but something went wrong and I developed these problems. However I do not lose hope to get better one day and Sevelamer makes this hope stronger.
