PA21 tablets containing 500 mg of ironEXPERIMENTALPA21 chewable tablets standardised to contain 500 mg of iron. PA21 500 mg (iron) chewable tablet contains approximately 2.5 g PA21 drug substance (sucroferric oxyhydroxide). Starting dose will be 1,500 mg/day (3 tablets/day (1 tablet per meal)). Dose increases or decreases of 500 mg/day (1 tablet/day) are permitted. The maximum dose of PA21 will be 3,000 mg/day (6 x 500 mg tablets/day) and the minimum dose will be 1,000 mg/day (2 x 500 mg tablets/day).
Sevelamer carbonate: Renvela® tabletsACTIVE_COMPARATORStarting dose will be 2.4 g/day (3 tablets/day). Dose increases or decreases of 2.4 g/day (3 tablets/day (1 tablet per meal)) The maximum dose of sevelamer carbonate will be 14.4 g/day (18 tablets/day) and the minimum dose will be 2.4 g/day (3 tablets/day).
