VELPHORO®

Velphoro® (Polynuclear Iron (III)-Oxyhydroxide, Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide) is a non-calcium, iron-based chewable phosphate binder developed for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia, in adults with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis. At the end of 2021, Velphoro® was registered in 32 countries.

How does Velphoro® work?

The active ingredient of Velphoro® is a phosphate binder. When taken with meals, the iron contained in Velphoro® binds to the phosphate in food that passes through the intestine, preventing its absorption into the body, therefore helping to keep phosphate levels in the blood low.

The strong binding capacity of Velphoro® allows patients to maintain target serum phosphate levels with half the pill burden1. A lower pill burden can increase adherence, leading to an effective control of phosphate levels.
