Overview

Lanthanum is a rare-earth trace metal that naturally occurs in monazite sand and coal (Drueke, 2007). Commercially, lanthanum is a byproduct of the nuclear industry and can be used as a semiconductor in florescent lights and rechargeable batteries (Drueke, 2007). Lanthanum has been recently marketed in Canada as Fosrenol®. It is available in 500 mg, 750 mg and 1000 mg chewable tablets (Anon, 2007). Lanthanum carbonate is indicated as a phosphate binder in patients with stage ...
