Renvela belongs to a group of medicines called phosphate binders. You can buy discount Renvela online through Canadian pharmacies.
In the healthy body, there is a specific relationship between calcium and phosphorus in the blood. In patients with CKD, the levels of phosphorus in the blood increase, making the levels of calcium decrease. Renvela binds to the extra phosphorus, allowing calcium levels to normalize and the patient to feel better.
