Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

What is Fosrenol used for?
According to its FDA label (DailyMed), Fosrenol is used:
- To lower blood phosphate levels in people with end-stage renal disease (kidney failure), along with a low-phosphate diet and dialysis.
Fosrenol chewable tablets come as 500 mg, 750 mg and 1,000 mg. The total daily dose is split and taken with or right after meals, and the tablets must be chewed or crushed completely, never swallowed whole. Because Fosrenol can bind other medicines in the gut, the label says to consider taking other oral medicines at a different time. Fosrenol has no boxed warning. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Fosrenol from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Fosrenol, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic lanthanum carbonate before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Takeda's Fosrenol chewable tablets were cancelled in 2023 and 2024 (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12), so we don't show Canadian brand packs. In the U.K., Takeda sells Fosrenol 500 mg, 750 mg and 1,000 mg chewable tablets (emc).
