Each packet contains: Sevelamer carbonate 800 mg on an anhydrous basis.
Renvela contains sevelamer, a non-absorbed phosphate binding cross-linked polymer, free of metal and calcium. Sevelamer carbonate (Renvela) was developed as a pharmaceutical alternative to Sevelamer hydrochloride. Sevelamer carbonate is an anion exchanged resin with the same polymeric structure as Sevelamer hydrochloride in which carbonate replaces chloride as the counterion. While the counterions differ from the two salts the polymer itself, the active moiety involved in phosphate binding, is the same.
