Calcium Acetate Capsule is a phosphate binder indicated to reduce serum phosphorus in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Patients with hypercalcemia. Pregnancy Category C Calcium Acetate Capsules contains calcium acetate.  Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with calcium acetate, and there are no adequate and well controlled studies of calcium acetate use in pregnant women.  Patients with end stage renal disease may develop hypercalcemia with calcium acetate treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] .  Maintenance of normal serum calcium levels is important for maternal and fetal well being.  Hypercalcemia during pregnancy may increase the risk for maternal and neonatal complications such as stillbirth, preterm delivery, and neonatal hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism.  Calcium acetate treatment, as recommended, is not expected to harm a fetus if maternal calcium levels are properly monitored during and following treatment.
