Medicine information
Uses & overview
PHOSACETATE 667 mg Tablet contains Calcium Acetate 667 mg, a phosphate-binding medicine used in the management of elevated serum phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly those receiving dialysis. Calcium acetate works in the digestive tract by binding dietary phosphate and forming calcium phosphate, which is less readily absorbed. This helps reduce the amount of phosphate entering the bloodstream. PHOSACETATE is generally used along with a kidney-friendly, phosphate-controlled diet and regular medical monitoring. The amount required may vary depending on the patient's serum phosphate level, dietary phosphate intake, kidney function, and response to treatment. Calcium levels and other relevant laboratory parameters may be monitored during therapy. PHOSACETATE is a product of Steris Healthcare and contains Calcium Acetate 667 mg. It should be used only according to the advice of a qualified nephrologist or healthcare professional.
How to use
Take PHOSACETATE exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Calcium acetate is generally taken with meals because it needs to bind phosphate from food in the digestive tract. Swallow the tablets with water as directed and follow your prescribed meal and medication schedule. Do not take more tablets than prescribed. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your blood phosphate and calcium levels. Continue following your recommended renal diet and attend regular laboratory check-ups during treatment. If you miss a dose, follow your doctor's instructions. Do not take an extra dose unless specifically advised by your healthcare professional.
