Has anyone tried that Renvela powder? It comes in a citrus flavor and you add it to a little fluid. I gave it a whirl and the taste wasn't repugnant, but I prefer to take the pills and be done with it.

I suppose the powder can be beneficial to those who have difficulty swallowing pills.

But I have a slew of the powder packets and I'm thinking about taking them to the clinic's dietician and perhaps, she could give them to a patient in need.

Yes, I have tried Renvila packets citrus flavor and I liked it but it would be a little inconvenient for me.  I'd also rather pop a pill.  I think the thought is that is takes no time at all to break down in your stomach.  It is okay.  I used my six up and am not going to ask for more.
