✔️ Quick Suggestions:
- Calcium carbonate has been extensively studied in children and infants with chronic renal failure and is both safe and effective.
- Constipation may be troublesome in elderly patients with renal failure.
- Calcium-containing drugs have been widely used in pregnancy and lactating women.
- Monitoring of serum calcium and phosphate is indicated for elderly patients.
✔️ Pharmacology
- Calcium carbonate reacts with gastric acid to produce salt and water.
