Indications/Uses
Prevention & therapy of damages due to faulty or deficient protein metabolism in chronic renal insufficiency in connection w/ limited protein food of ≤40 g/day (for adults) & patients w/ GFR <25 mL/min.
Reduce vit D intake if hypercalcaemia occurs; dose & intake of any other Ca sources in case of persisting hypercalcaemia. Monitor decrease of serum phosphate levels. Pregnancy & lactation. No experience in childn.
May cause or aggravate elevated serum Ca levels w/ Ca-containing drugs. Risk of disturbed absorption w/ drugs forming hardly soluble compd w/ Ca (eg, tetracyclines, quinolones eg, ciprofloxacin & norfloxacin as well as drugs containing Fe, fluoride or estramustine). Increased risk of arrhythmia w/ cardioactive glycosides in the presence of hypercalcemia. Possible interaction w/ Al HCl.
