PhosLo (calcium acetate) for Hyperphosphatemia "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."
