Composition:-
Calcium Acetate 667 mg
Uses:-
Calcium Acetate 667 mg tablets are used to control high phosphate levels in the blood, a condition known as hyperphosphatemia, particularly in patients with kidney disease. Phosphate is a mineral that the body needs for bone health and other functions, but excess phosphate can be harmful, especially in individuals with impaired kidney function. These tablets work by binding to dietary phosphate in the intestines, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. By lowering phosphate levels, calcium acetate helps to prevent complications such as bone disease, itching, and calcification of tissues in patients undergoing dialysis due to kidney failure.
Side Effects:-
While generally well-tolerated, Calcium Acetate tablets may cause some side effects. Common side effects include constipation, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. These side effects are usually mild and may improve with time or with adjustments in dosage. In some cases, high doses of calcium acetate may lead to hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), which can cause symptoms such as confusion, weakness, irregular heartbeat, or excessive thirst. Rarely, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling may occur. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider.
