Side Effects for Phoslo (calcium acetate)
seems to be doing a good job removing phosphorous from my body which the kidney was not doing
PHOSLO (CALCIUM ACETATE): Calcium acetate is used to prevent high blood phosphate levels in patients who are on dialysis due to severe kidney disease. Dialysis removes some phosphate from your blood, but it is difficult to remove enough to keep your phosphate levels balanced. Decreasing blood phosphate levels can help keep your bones strong, prevent unsafe buildup of minerals in your body, and possibly decrease the risk of heart disease and strokes that can result from high phosphate levels. Calcium acetate is a natural mineral that works by holding onto phosphate from the diet so that it can pass out of your body. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I'm a teacher, & I'm scared that I will not be able to start the school year with my students. No one can tell me exactly how long this drug will stay in my system, causing this debilitating pain. The first perdiction was 7-10 days. Oh how I wish that were true! My recommendation: Do not take this drug!
Switched from symbacort to qvar 8o mg and 1st week noticed a nig improvement.My breathong isnbetter than i ever thought it woyld be again on qvar 80 mg. I actually forget i have copd. Grat improvement in my breathing and don't get short of breath anymore. Thank God for qvar 80mg .
shakes, sleep, somewhat euphoric,hunger. If opiates were taken simultaneously respectively and RESPECTFULLY, the shaking subsides at least for me..
I am on 500 mg for 7 days, 3x a day. The second day I became so lightheaded, nauseous, and shaky that I almost passed out. I was scared, and had to leave work - I've never felt like that before and didn't know to expect it as a side effect. The third day I was still shaky and feeling weird, but it wasn't as bad. The fourth day I was in a fog all day, confused and forgetful. Today I am nauseous and exhausted but not as dizzy. Hopefully it will get better as the days go on.
My whole body felt warm inside for the first month, and delayed orgasm but only lasted 3 mths...have gained 8 pounds have not changed eating habits or exercise but now will have to.
I have probably taken Macrobid (both regular and generic) about 6 times in my life and the first 3 times were absolutely fine. It cured me of my UTI and I had no bad side effects. However, the last 3 times, which coincidentally have all occurred during the past 3 winters, were absolute nightmares.About 48-72 hours after I'm done taking the medication, I develop itchiness on my palms and heels. It'll eventually go to my thighs, abdomen, arms, underarms, neck, back, scalp, and ears, which will become red and bumpy (hives) once scratched. Absolutely every part of my body gets unbearably itchy -- not all at once, but one itchy body part at a time. It almost feels like having a million mosquito bites in one spot.So anyway, these past 3 experiences with Macrobid I have had to go to the ER because the discomfort was just too much to handle. They recommended taking Benadryl and prescribed a stronger hydrocortisone cream than the ones you can buy off the shelf. Aveeno products work very wel
This is the drug for me. I have more energy and less anxiety. I'm more able to deal with problems as they come at me. I'm happier. I work better. I've stopped grinding my teeth at night. I have better sex. I spent two years on SSRI's and quit because they slowed me down and damped down my emotions. Wellbutrin doesn't: it gets me moving and thinking and focusing on what's going on around me. I can't recommend it highly enough.
