5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
_5.1 HYPERCALCEMIA_
Patients with end stage renal disease may develop hypercalcemia when
treated with calcium, including
calcium acetate. Avoid the use of calcium supplements, including
calcium-based nonprescription
antacids, concurrently with calcium acetate.
An overdose of calcium acetate may lead to progressive hypercalcemia,
which may require emergency
measures. Therefore, early in the treatment phase during the dosage
adjustment period, monitor serum
calcium levels twice weekly. Should hypercalcemia develop, reduce the
calcium acetate dosage or
discontinue the treatment, depending on the severity of hypercalcemia.
More severe hypercalcemia (Ca>12 mg/dL) is associated with confusion,
delirium, stupor and coma.
Severe hypercalcemia can be treated by acute hemodialysis and
discontinuing calcium acetate
therapy.Mild hypercalcemia (10.5 to 11.9 mg/dL) may be asymptomatic or
manifest as constipation,
anorexia, nausea, and vomiting.
Mild hypercalcemia is usual
