FERMAGATE is a phosphate binder with phosphate plasma levels lowering activity. It is in Phase 3 development in the US and in Europe for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients. It is made up of magnesium and ferric iron atoms held in an insoluble, rigid, crystalline-layered structure, with carbonate groups lying between the layers. Upon oral administration, the carbonate ions in FERMAGATE are exchanged for free phosphate ions released from food in the gastrointestinal tract; thereby, strongly binding phosphate. This inhibits phosphate uptake and preventing hyperphosphatemia.
