Patient summary
Indicated to target serum phosphate levels, utilized to alleviate hyperphosphataemia in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Mechanism of action
Calcium acetate works by binding to dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract. This forms insoluble calcium phosphate, which is then excreted in the faeces, preventing the absorption of phosphate into the bloodstream.
