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.-

Q & A

Can you mix Phos-bind with your cat's therapeutic food which contains potassium citrate? I have read that the potassium citrate can speed up the absorption of the aluminium in aluminium hydroxide binders causing aluminum toxicity.?
-
According to the manufacturer, this medication is meant to be used with your cat’s food. The manufacturer does not supply information on if potassium citrate would cause an issue with Phos-bind. The manufacturer does recommend consulting your veterinarian if your cat takes other medications or if you notice any unusual side effects while your cat is on this medication. Please contact your veterinarian for further information or concerns about the safety of this product for your cat.

Can I fill a gelatine capsule with the recommended dosage and give to my cat??
-
The package insert states that this medication should be sprinkled over the animal’s food prior to ingestion. Putting the powder in a gelatin capsule would still be acceptable as this medication is absorbed in the animal’s small intestine. A gelatin capsule would disintegrate within a few minutes of reaching your cat’s stomach fluid and achieve the same desired effect as sprinkling the powder on the food. Based on your cat’s recommended dosing, it may be difficult to pack multiple gel capsules full of the required dose. You should talk to your veterinarian about any further questions or concerns regarding appropriateness of this product in your cat.

Hi is phos-bind the same med as aluminum hydroxide gel, just the powered form? My cat is currently on aluminum hydroxide gel but it is very difficult to administer to her. She basically hates it and kicks me and fights me. So I'm looking to try something that might be easier to administer.?
-
Yes, both Phos-Bind and aluminum hydroxide gel contain the same active ingredient (aluminum hydroxide). Please contact your veterinarian with questions about use of the gel versus the powder.

I'm confused. In one response you stated "The manufacturer recommends giving 100 mg/kg daily, and 1 scoop contains 500mg. So an 11lb dog would get approximately 1 scoop." If the scoop is 500 mg and the recommendation is 100 mg wouldn't that mean the 11 lb dog should get 1/5th of a scoop? What dosage should a 90 lb dog receive??
-
An 11 lb dog weighs 5 kg. Dosing the medication at 100mg/kg would require a total dose of 500mg. For a 90lb dog, which would weigh 40.9kg, the total dose would be 4,090mg. This is approximately 8 scoops.

My compounding pharmacy sells me only 100mg capsules of aluminum hydroxide. I cut them open and add to my cats food with each meal, 2 or 3 times a day. They cost about $1 each, very expensive. I asked about pure powder but pharmacy refuses to sell it to me. Its used is as a phosphate binder from my cat. Would 100mg (1/5 scoop) of your product be the same as the 100mg Aluminum Hydroxide powder I now give my cat by cutting open the capsules? If so, that will be more cost effective since it appears to be a long term need.?
