Calcium acetate "Upon taking this drug, I experienced every horrible side effect, throat swelling, constipation, muscle pain and weakness, rashes that itch to no end... Everyone is different. You have to find the right binder that works for you. Definitely let your Dr know these side effects right away. They could be deadly."

Calcium acetate "These brands of pills from CVS Pharmacy make you vomit, have intestinal pains, diarrhea uncontrollably and out of the blue, and dizziness, stop breathing, and cannot move till it wears off. Don’t accept this horrible brand. P.S. I'm on them because of my renal failure."
