Introduction

Velphoro (sucroferric oxyhydroxide) is used to treat high-blood phosphate levels in adults with advanced kidney disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD) or adults who are already on dialysis. Velphoro is considered a phosphate binder, which works “like a magnet” to pull phosphates from the food that an adult would eat and ensure it makes its way to the stool.

Velphoro (sucroferric oxyhydroxide) tablets absolutely must be chewed and not swallowed as a whole oral tablet. If you’re the type of person that has trouble chewing and swallowing these types of tablets, try crushing them and then swallowing them pre-crushed.
