CALCIUM ACETATE
ZEROFOS-DS is a 1st in India double strength calcium acetate phosphate binder which comes in a strength of two conventional calcium acetate tablet to reduce the increased pill burden in CKD patients and improve their adherence to therapy. It belongs to a class of medications called phosphate binders. People with advanced kidney failure retain phosphate leading to too much phosphate in their bodies (hyperphosphatemia). High phosphate levels cause hyperparathyroidism, which leads to abnormal bone formation and calcium deposits in tissues. ZEROFOS-DS works by holding onto phosphate from the diet so that it can pass out of your body. Dialysis removes some phosphate from blood, but it is difficult to remove enough to keep phosphate levels balanced. ZEROFOS-DS is used to prevent high blood phosphate levels in patients who are on dialysis due to severe kidney disease.
