Calcium acetate
PHOSACETATE  is a medication that is commonly used to control high levels of phosphate in the blood, a condition known as hyperphosphatemia. It is often prescribed to individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have difficulty excreting excess phosphate from their bodies due to impaired kidney function.
The "667" likely refers to the dosage strength of PHOSACETATE  tablets, which contain 667 mg of calcium acetate per tablet. These tablets are designed for oral administration. The calcium in calcium acetate binds with phosphate in the digestive tract, forming insoluble compounds that are then excreted in the stool, thereby reducing the absorption of phosphate from food.
PHOSACETATE  is primarily used to treat hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly those on dialysis. High levels of phosphate in the blood can lead to complications such as bone and mineral disorders, cardiovascular problems, and other health issues.
The dosage of PHOSACETATE  can vary depending on the individual patient's needs and their healthcare provider's recommendations. It is typically taken with meals to bind phosphate from food. The 667 mg tablets are one of the available dosage strengths.
Common side effects of PHOSACETATE  may include gastrointestinal symptoms like constipation, nausea, and vomiting. Some patients may also experience an elevated calcium level in the blood (hypercalcemia) if they take too much PHOSACETATE .
It's important for individuals taking PHOSACETATE  to have regular blood tests to monitor their phosphate and calcium levels, as well as other potential side effects. The dosage should be adjusted based on these test results.
PHOSACETATE  can interact with other medications, so it's essential to inform your healthcare provider about all the drugs and supplements you are taking.
The use of calcium acetate during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare provider. The potential risks and benefits should be carefully evaluated.
Patients taking PHOSACETATE  should also follow a phosphate-restricted diet as recommended by their healthcare provider to help manage their phosphate levels effectively.
