Andrei Popov

General medicinePain medicine7 years of experience

Dr. Andrei Popov is a General Practitioner with specialized training in chronic pain. He provides online consultations for adult patients in Spain and other European countries.

Dr. Popov understands that seeking help with weight-related concerns or pain that has persisted for months can be difficult. Many patients come to him after trying different approaches without feeling truly heard. During the consultation, the doctor creates a comfortable and supportive, non-judgmental environment where the patient’s medical history can be discussed in detail, questions can be answered, and the next steps can be decided together.

Weight Management and Metabolic Health

Dr. Popov can help assess overweight, obesity, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. During the consultation, the patient’s medical history, test results, current medications, and previous treatments will be reviewed.

If you would like to learn about possible medication options or have already started treatment, the doctor can assess your situation, review the effectiveness and tolerability of the therapy, and clearly explain its benefits, potential risks, and alternatives.

Not every patient requires the same treatment. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription — it provides an objective medical assessment and a plan tailored to your individual situation.

Pain and General Medicine

You can also consult Dr. Popov regarding:

* chronic pain, migraines, neuralgia, and fibromyalgia;

* back, neck, lower back, or joint pain;

* hypertension, diabetes, and follow-up of chronic conditions;

* review of test results, medical reports, and current treatment;

* preventive medicine and a second medical opinion.

How the Consultation Works

The video consultation lasts up to 30 minutes. The doctor will listen carefully, review the information you provide, and explain the next steps in clear and understandable language.

If additional tests, an in-person consultation, or urgent medical care are required, the doctor will inform you directly.

Dr. Popov’s goal is to make sure the patient feels heard and leaves the consultation with a clear understanding of their condition and the next steps they can take.

1. What Sevelamer KernPharma is and what it is used for

Sevelamer Kern Pharma contains sevelamer carbonate as the active substance. It binds to phosphate from food in the digestive tract and thereby reduces serum phosphate levels in the blood.

Sevelamer is used to control hyperphosphataemia (high phosphate levels in the blood) in:

  • adult patients on dialysis (a blood cleaning technique). It can be used in patients undergoing haemodialysis (using a machine to filter the blood) or peritoneal dialysis (where fluid is pumped into the abdomen and a body membrane filters the blood);
  • patients with chronic kidney disease (long-term) who are not on dialysis and have a serum phosphate level of 1.78 mmol/l or higher.

Sevelamer should be used with other treatments such as calcium and vitamin D supplements to prevent the development of bone disease.

High serum phosphate levels can cause hard deposits in the body called calcifications. These deposits can harden in blood vessels and make it more difficult for blood to be pumped through the body. High serum phosphate levels can also cause skin itching, red eyes, bone pain, and fractures.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you take Sevelamer Kern Pharma

Do not take Sevelamer KernPharma

  • if you have low phosphate levels in your blood (your doctor will check this for you)
  • if you have intestinal obstruction
  • if you are allergic to the active substance or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor before taking sevelamer if you are in any of the following situations:

  • swallowing problems
  • stomach and intestine motility problems
  • frequent vomiting
  • active inflammation of the intestine
  • you have undergone major stomach or intestine surgery.
  • if you have severe inflammatory bowel disease.

Children and adolescents

The safety and efficacy of sevelamer have not been studied in children (under 18 years). Therefore, the use of sevelamer is not recommended in children.

Additional treatments:

Due to your kidney condition or dialysis treatment, you may:

  • have low or high calcium levels in your blood. As sevelamer does not contain calcium, your doctor may prescribe calcium supplement tablets
  • have low vitamin D levels in your blood. Therefore, your doctor may check your vitamin D levels in your blood and prescribe a vitamin D supplement if necessary. If you do not take multivitamin supplements, your blood levels of vitamins A, E, K, and folic acid may also decrease, so your doctor may monitor these levels and prescribe vitamin supplements as necessary.

Special note for patients on peritoneal dialysis:

You may develop peritonitis (infection of the abdominal fluid) associated with peritoneal dialysis. This risk can be reduced with careful use of sterile techniques during bag changes. You should inform your doctor immediately if you experience any new signs or symptoms of abdominal discomfort, abdominal swelling, abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, or abdominal stiffness, constipation, fever, chills, nausea, or vomiting.

You should also expect closer monitoring if you have problems with low levels of vitamins A, D, E, K, and folic acid.

Using Sevelamer KernPharma with other medicines

Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

  • Sevelamer should not be taken at the same time as ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic).
  • If you are using other medicines for heart rhythm problems or for epilepsy, you should consult your doctor when taking sevelamer.
  • The effects of medicines such as cyclosporin, mycophenolate mofetil, and tacrolimus (medicines used to suppress the immune system) may be reduced by sevelamer. Your doctor will advise you if you are taking these medicines.
  • A low thyroid hormone level may be observed rarely in certain individuals taking levothyroxine (used to treat low thyroid hormone levels) and sevelamer. Therefore, your doctor may monitor your thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in your blood more closely.
  • If you are taking medicines such as omeprazole, pantoprazole, or lansoprazole to treat heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or stomach ulcers, you should consult your doctor when taking sevelamer.

Your doctor will regularly check for interactions between sevelamer and other medicines.

In some cases, sevelamer should be taken at the same time as another medicine. Your doctor may tell you to take this medicine 1 hour before or 3 hours after taking sevelamer, or may consider monitoring the blood levels of that medicine.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. It is not known if sevelamer has any effect on the fetus.

Tell your doctor if you want to breastfeed your baby. It is not known if sevelamer passes into breast milk and affects the baby.

Driving and using machines

Sevelamer is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machines.

3. How to take Sevelamer KernPharma

Sevelamer should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will determine the dose based on your serum phosphate levels.

The dose of 2.4 g of oral powder for suspension should be dispersed in 60 ml of water. Drink within 30 minutes of preparation. It is important to drink all of the liquid and you may need to rinse the glass with water and drink it to ensure you take all of the powder.

The recommended initial dose of sevelamer is 2.4-4.8 g per day, divided into three meals. Your doctor will determine the exact initial dose and regimen.

Initially, your doctor will check your phosphate levels in your blood every 2-4 weeks and may adjust the dose of sevelamer as needed to achieve an adequate phosphate level.

Patients taking sevelamer should follow the diets prescribed for them.

If you take more Sevelamer KernPharma than you should

In case of a possible overdose, contact your doctor immediately.

If you forget to take Sevelamer KernPharma

If you miss a dose, it should be omitted, so the next dose should be taken at the usual time with a meal. Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses.
