Actually Tasteless
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 35g PowderMy Magneto was born with small kidneys so the doctor recommended this to help reduce the amount of phosphate build up. I was worried he would turn his nose at it because of the taste but I've mixed it with wet food and he gobbles it right up. I've even dusted it on dry food in a pinch and he didn't mind.-

My cat weighs 7.3 lbs. I have a 1/8 scoop. How much should my cat get a day. How much in teaspoons is 100gram. The product is RXVitamins. Give 100 mg with meals daily. 35 mg container?
-
The included scoop in the 35 gram container equals ⅛ teaspoon. One scoop (⅛ teaspoon) contains 250mg of Aluminum Hydroxide. It is recommended to use the included scoop for greater accuracy in dosing. According to the manufacturer, the recommended dose of Phos-Bind is 100 mg/kg once daily with meals. There are several factors that may influence how much your cat should be getting, so it is recommended to consult your veterinarian regarding any further questions or concerns regarding this medication in your cat.

I am frustrated as this does not come with a measuring spoon and so I have no idea how much to give to my 11lbs cat?

Phos-Bind is a dietary supplement of aluminum hydroxide that supports normal function and health of the kidneys in cats and dogs.

I received the "New Finer Powder" product which has a 1/8 scoop instead of the previous product that was more granular with a 1/4 scoop. Are the dosing instructions now different with the New Finer Powder for a maximum amount of 1/8 scoop per day instead of the 1/4 scoop in the previous product? That is, do I now need to change the amount I give my cat now that the product has been remade??
-
The new ⅛ scoop is equivalent to the previous ¼ scoop as they are both 250mg per scoop. The labeled directions for Phos-Bind is 100 mg/kg daily with meals. The manufacturer recommends that the total daily dose should be divided up between meals. Based upon how much your cat weighs, it will determine how many scoops you should give them. Please speak to your veterinarian as they can help you determine the proper dosage to administer to your cat.

Hi, is this product made from a gel that has been turned into a powder? Apparently, that's the type of aluminum hydroxide recommended by my vet. Thank you?
-
According to the manufacturer, Phos-Bind is made from a dried gel and converted into a fine powder.

There seems to be incorrect and/or confusing information in the product description. 35 g powder contains 250 g of Aluminum Hydroxide : how can 35g of powder contain 250 g of AlOH? [It should be '250 mg AlOH' based on the product pictures]. Reducing the potential for confusion will be a good thing. For the following, maybe the "scoops" are different sizes? If that's the case, add in parentheses the scoop size, e.g. 90 (1/4 tsp) scoops. Phos-Bind 35g container = 90 scoops Phos-Bind 200g container = 200 scoops?
-
Can this be mixed with a pro-biotic paste? I use the Proviable paste and want to make sure it doesn't contain anything that would adhere to or react with the Phos-Bind.?
-
According to the manufacturer, the kaolin and pectin in Proviable paste could delay absorption of some medications, so the administration of the paste should be separated by 1-2 hours from other medications.

I am confused by the dosage information for this product. Previously you answered, " A scoop is included with the Phos-Bind powder. 1 Leveled scoop of powder contains 500mg of Aluminum hydroxide, and the manufacturer recommends giving 100mg/kg daily with meals." So for a 100mg do I give a 5th of a scoop and is a 100mg given at each meal? Does it matter how much the dog weighs??

Phos-Bind comes in two different size containers, 35 grams and 200 grams, each with their own scoop. For the 35 gram container, the scoop is 1.25 cc (¼ tsp) and measures 250 mg/scoop. The 200 gram container has a scoop size of 2.5 cc (½ tsp) and measures 500 mg/scoop. The labeled directions for Phos-Bind is 100 mg/kg daily with meals. The manufacturer recommends that the total daily dose should be divided up and given with each meal. The weight of the animal is important, because the labeled dosage of Phos-Bind is based on weight: 100 mg is given per 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs) of body weight. The dosage of this product will also vary based on the individual needs of your pet, and it is recommended that your pet’s blood values be checked periodically to ensure the correct dosage. Your veterinarian can help determine the proper dosage and provide you with the directions to administer Phos-Bind to your pet.

The Verified Reply from VetRxDirect is in error and is probably causing doses double the proper amount. The label on my jar of Phos-Bind clearly states: "500mg/0.25tsp".

I have heard on a kidney failure FB group that medication should not. E given within 2 hours of Phos Bind. Is that correct? This makes it near impossible to give meds & binder in food before going to work. TY?
-
Some medications interact with the Phos-Bind, it is recommended that Phos-Bind is used under the supervision of your veterinarian. Please inform your veterinarian of all medications including over-the-counter products your pet is taking to help prevent interactions. For best absorption of medications, it is recommended to separate those administered orally from Phos-Bind by at least 2 hours.
