Medicine information
Uses & overview
Hypoacetate 667 is a pharmaceutical product containing Calcium Acetate 667 mg as its active ingredient. Calcium acetate belongs to a group of medicines known as phosphate binders. In people with significantly reduced kidney function, the kidneys may not remove phosphorus from the blood effectively. This can result in elevated phosphate levels. Calcium acetate works in the digestive tract by binding with dietary phosphate, reducing its absorption into the bloodstream. Hypoacetate 667 may be prescribed as part of the management of high blood phosphate levels associated with chronic kidney disease, particularly in patients receiving dialysis. Its use should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the patient's medical condition and laboratory results. Regular monitoring of serum phosphate, calcium and other relevant blood parameters may be required during treatment. Patients should follow the advice of their nephrologist or other treating healthcare professional.
How to use
Hypoacetate 667 should be used only as directed by the treating healthcare professional. The prescribed treatment schedule may depend on the patient's phosphate levels, kidney function, diet and other medicines. Do not change the prescribed treatment or take additional calcium-containing products without consulting your doctor. Patients receiving dialysis or treatment for chronic kidney disease may require regular laboratory monitoring.
Storage
Store Hypoacetate 667 according to the storage conditions mentioned on the product packaging. Keep the medicine in its original container, protected from excessive heat and moisture, and out of the reach of children.
