• Phosphate Binding: Sevelamer acts as a phosphate-binding polymer.

• Reduces Absorption: By binding with phosphate in your gut, it reduces the absorption of phosphate from your diet.

• Lowering Serum Phosphorus Levels: Through this process of reduced absorption, sevelamer effectively lowers serum phosphorus concentrations in the blood.
