Aim: The present study aimed to explore the outpatient prescribing pattern of sevelamer in Al Seih. Methodology: This was a retrospective study that included reviewing the electronic prescriptions that contained sevelamer among outpatients in the city of Al Saih. Results: During 2017 and 2018, 47 patients received sevelamer from the outpatient pharmacy in a public hospital in Alkharj. More than 23 % of the prescriptions were prescribed in January and about 21.28% of the prescriptions were prescribed in May. All of the prescriptions that contained sevelamer were prescribed for the duration of 1 month (100.00%), all of the sevelamer prescriptions were written by residents (100.00%) and all of the prescriptions were prescribed by nephrology department (100.00%). More than half of the patients who received sevelamer were females (60.00%). The age of about 90% of the patients who received sevelamer was more than 39 years. Conclusion: The present study showed that the prescribing of sevelamer was uncommon in Al Seih. Further studies are required to investigate the pattern and the frequency of sevelamer in the outpatients setting and in other settings.
