XPHOZAH - tenapanor for phosphate control in adults on dialysis
- Product / population
- XPHOZAH oral tenapanor; phosphate-control indication. Not IBSRELA for IBS with constipation.
- Renal measure
- Adults with CKD already on dialysis; phosphorus response, tolerability and dialysis timing.
Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
For adult CKD patients on dialysis with inadequate response to phosphate binders or intolerance of any binder dose, the labeled regimen is 30 mg orally twice daily before morning and evening meals. Monitor phosphorus and adjust for gastrointestinal tolerability. Do not take immediately before hemodialysis; take before the next meal after dialysis because diarrhea can follow administration. Stop treatment for severe diarrhea. Separate sodium polystyrene sulfonate by at least 3 hours. Review OATP2B1 interactions, particularly enalapril: the label contains an exception to the usual lower starting-dose advice when coadministered. The dialysis-specific indication is not a general CKD or IBSRELA dosing recommendation.
