Uses

Calcium acetate is used in the treatment of high phosphate levels in the blood.

How it Works

How Calcium Acetate works Calcium Acetate contains calcium acetate that binds with the phosphate in the food you consume, allowing it to be eliminated from the body without absorption. This process helps reduce high levels of phosphate in the blood.

Side Effects

Common side effects of calcium acetate include increased calcium levels in the blood, nausea, and diarrhea.
