Overview of Lanthanum Carbonate
Lanthanum Carbonate is a phosphate binder that is used to manage hyperphosphatemia among patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as end-stage kidney disease (ESRD). It is renowned for its high phosphate binding capacity as well as its non-calcium, nonluminum formula. Lanthanum Carbonate is widely employed in therapeutics for renal health.
This API appears as a white to off-white powder with excellent chemical stability under standard storage conditions. Its mechanism—binding dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract—prevents phosphate absorption and helps maintain serum phosphate levels within therapeutic range.
Related products include Sevelamer Carbonate, Calcium Acetate, and other phosphate binders used in nephrology and the management of renal disorders.
Applications of Lanthanum Carbonate
Pharmaceutical API
- Used in phosphate-binding medications for CKD and ESRD patients
- Effective in controlling serum phosphate levels in dialysis patients
- Binds dietary phosphate in the GI tract, reducing intestinal absorption
- Non-calcium and non-aluminum alternative to traditional binders
Formulation Development
- Used in chewable tablets and oral suspensions
- Suitable for standalone formulations or combination renal therapies
- Offers excellent binding capacity with minimal systemic absorption
- Requires proper taste-masking in chewable formulations
Renal & Metabolic Treatment
- helps prevent the complications associated with hyperphosphatemia. It can prevent the development of bone disease as well as vascular calcification.
- Lowers the burden of phosphate while not contributing to calcium oversupply
- A long-term security profile for managing chronic kidney disease
Safety and Guidelines for Handling
- Do not inhale fine powder
- Use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing during handling
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances
