Calcium Acetate 667mg Tablets: My Experience and Questions
I've been prescribed Calcium Acetate 667mg Tablets to manage my phosphate levels as part of my dialysis treatment. I've been taking them for a while now, and I've noticed some side effects. Does anyone else have experience with this medication? I'm particularly interested in hearing about any long-term effects or strategies to manage side effects. Also, how do you handle the constipation that can come with it? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Constipation is tough but I think diet is a big part of it. I switched to a high fiber diet and it made a huge difference. I also have to drink more water. It's honestly tough but helpful.
Side effects are tough. Have you tried talking to a dietitian about managing your phosphate levels through diet? It's a big help for many people.
I had a bad experience with this medication. I got hives and ended up in the ER. I think it's important to be really cautious.
I think the most important part for me has been tracking my phosphate levels regularly. It's helped me and my doctor adjust the dosage effectively.
I've had some weird allergic reactions. Definitely worth asking your doctor about other options if you experience this.
I just started taking these and I'm already feeling kinda tired and weak. Is this normal? I want to talk to my doctor because this is really affecting my daily life.
Make sure you're not taking these with any other calcium supplements. I made that mistake and ended up with a lot of stomach issues.
