What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Fosrenol (lanthanum carbonate) is a phosphate binder. It works by decreasing blood phosphate levels in patients who have end stage kidney disease.

Fosrenol is available in 500 mg, 750 mg, and 1000 mg chewable tablets. It is also available in 750 mg and 1000 mg powder for oral administration.

Directions

Take Fosrenol as instructed by your doctor. Contact your doctor or pharmacy about any questions or concerns you have about the medication.

Recommended initial Fosrenol dosage: 1500 mg by mouth each day in divided doses, with or immediately after meals

When taking Fosrenol chewable tablets, be sure to chew or crush them completely before swallowing.

When taking Fosrenol oral powder, sprinkle the powder on a small amount of applesauce or similar food and immediately consume it.

The active ingredient in Fosrenol is lanthanum carbonate.

The inactive ingredients include colloidal silicon dioxide NF, dextrates (hydrated) NF, and magnesium stearate NF.

Contraindications

Some patients should not take Fosrenol, including those with:

  • bowel obstruction

Cautions

  • Before you begin treatment with Fosrenol, tell your doctor about:
    • All the prescription and nonprescription medications you take
    • Your allergies
    • Your current health conditions
    • Your past medical history
    • Your pregnancy status
    • Your breastfeeding status
  • Because Fosrenol has radio-opaque properties, it may look like a typical imaging agent during abdominal X-rays.
