Title: Experience With Auryxia
Post by: Texasondialysis on April 07, 2015, 07:22:00 PM
Hello,

My Doctor just put me on Auryxia (ferric citrate.)  I'm wondering if anyone is taking it and has had any side effects.  For me, it's day 14...  My stool is dark but that seems to be the only side effect.  My doctor said this would increase the iron in my blood and so far it has!  It's prescribed as a phosphate binder which also seems to be working for me.  I'm coming off of IV iron which means no more of that!!  What a pain!  Anyhow, I'm hoping to find out if anyone has had anything negative, because I'm going to stay on it for now.

Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to provide.

JB
