How does Clacetate Tablet work?

Clacetate Tablet controls the phosphate levels by removing phosphate from the food in your stomach before it gets into the bloodstream. Thus, it helps to prevent the high levels of phosphate in the bloodstream.

What are symptoms of high phosphorus?

High phosphorus often does not cause symptoms itself. However, excess phosphorus in your blood can remove calcium from your bones and other body parts, resulting in low calcium (hypocalcemia). Low calcium causes symptoms such as muscle cramps, bone and joint discomfort, weak bones, and itchy skin or rash.

In which conditions Clacetate Tablet is not recommended not to use?

It is not recommended for use if you are allergic to any components present in Clacetate Tablet , if you have high levels of calcium in your blood or urine, or if you have low levels of phosphate in your blood.

How is hyperphosphatemia (high phosphorus) detected?

Doctors will test your blood phosphate level to see if you have excess phosphorus. If your phosphate level is higher than 4.5 mg/dL, your doctor may order additional tests to rule out kidney disease.
