Feup Tablet contains Ferric Citrate 210 mg, an oral iron-based phosphate binder primarily used to manage hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). By binding dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, Feup helps lower serum phosphate levels while simultaneously providing a source of iron to support hemoglobin synthesis. This dual-action formulation is beneficial for patients with CKD-related anemia and phosphate imbalance.
