Calphron 200 Tablets
What is Calphron?
Calcium Acetate, marketed as a phosphate binder, is primarily used in patients with chronic kidney disease to manage hyperphosphatemia by reducing phosphate absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. By binding dietary phosphate, it lowers serum phosphate levels, thus preventing complications such as bone and cardiovascular disorders associated with elevated phosphate levels. It's crucial for patients to take it with meals to maximize its phosphate-binding effects.Side Effects
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
Warnings
- Do not use if you have high blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia).
- Use with caution if you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease.
- Monitor calcium levels regularly to avoid serious complications.
- Consult your doctor if you experience signs of low phosphate levels such as muscle weakness or confusion.
- Inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking as calcium acetate can interact with other drugs.
