Description: Anti-fosfat is a calcium carbonate-based medication used primarily to manage and reduce elevated phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those undergoing dialysis.

Key features:
• Helps to manage and reduce high phosphate levels in patients with kidney disease.
• Aids in the prevention of bone and cardiovascular complications related to hyperphosphatemia.
• Easier to swallow with a protective coating to minimize gastrointestinal irritation.
• Provides additional calcium which can be beneficial for bone health, especially in patients with CKD.

Side Effects:
• Common side effects include constipation, bloating, gas, and upset stomach.

Caution:
• Should not be used in patients with hypercalcemia or severe hyperparathyroidism without medical advice.
• Use with caution. Discuss risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.
