Sevecord is contraindicated in patients with bowel obstruction, and should be used with caution in patients with swallowing disorders, motility disorders, major gastrointestinal tract surgery, or active inflammatory bowel disease, due to reports of bowel obstruction and perforation. It should be taken with adequate fluid intake. Because sevelamer can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and folic acid with long-term use, supplementation may be required and should be monitored by the treating physician.
