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. -

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.?

I purchased the phos bind 35 gram jar. Your website says that a level scoop is equal to 500 mgs. However the container says that a scoop is 250mgs. Also your website says that a scoop is equal to 1/2 teaspoon but I measured it and a level scoop appears to be equal to 1/4 teaspoon. Can you please explain the discrepancies? I am struggling to figure out the amount to give my cat. Thanks.?

My product did not come with a scoop. I realize a scoop is 500mg of powder, but what is the volume of the scoop? 1/2 tsp? 1 tsp? I need to know so I can dose appropriately.?
-
The Phos-Bind should contain a very small scoop (about 1.5 inches in length) that can be found somewhere within the Phos-Bind powder so please be sure to check for the scoop included to accurately measure the medication. We have listed the sizes below. For the 35 gram Powder, the scoop size is 1.25 cc (1/4 tsp equivalent) One scoop = 250 mg For the 200 gram Powder, the scoop size is 2.5 cc (1/2 tsp equivalent) One scoop = 500 mg

Is the scoop included with the product 100mg? It is not clear if we should use a half scoop or full or what equals 100mg. There is nothing on the scoop indicating how much 100mg is. Thank you!?
-
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. For more information, you may click the "product insert tab" on the website page.

Will this remain effective if I pre-mix it into a liquid suspension with, say, chicken stock or a little peanutbutter and water? Or do I need to mix it "fresh" for each use??
-
There is no information available about the long term stability of the Phos-Bind if premixed with other ingredient. We recommend mixing fresh with each use to avoid any potential issues that could occur.
