There are no empirical data on avoiding drug interactions between Calcium Acetate (Medi-Kool Pak) and most concomitant oral drugs. For oral medications where a reduction in the bioavailability of that medication would have a clinically significant effect on its safety or efficacy, consider separation of the timing of the administration of the two drugs. The duration of separation depends upon the absorption characteristics of the medication concomitantly administered, such as the time to reach peak systemic levels and whether the drug is an immediate release or an extended release product. Consider monitoring clinical responses or blood levels of concomitant medications that have a narrow therapeutic range.
Tell your doctor of any over-the-counter or prescription medication you may take including: blood thinners.
Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.

Hypercalcemia is discussed elsewhere.
Clinical Trial Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
In clinical studies, Calcium Acetate (Medi-Kool Pak) has been generally well tolerated.
The solid dose formulation of Calcium Acetate (Medi-Kool Pak) was studied in a 3-month, open-label, non-randomized study of 98 enrolled ESRD hemodialysis patients and in a two week double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study with 69 enrolled ESRD hemodialysis patients. Adverse reactions ( > 2% on treatment) from these trials are presented in Table 1.

As aspirin, The most common adverse effects of therapeutic doses of aspirin are gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, dyspepsia, and vomiting. Gastrointestinal symptoms may be minimised by giving aspirin with food. Irritation of the gastric mucosa with erosion, ulceration, haematemesis, and melaena may occur. Histamine H2-antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, and prostaglandin analogues such as misoprostol may be used in the management of aspirin-induced mucosal damage. Slight blood loss, which is often asymptomatic, may occur in about 70% of patients; it is not usually of clinical significance but may, in a few patients, cause iron-deficiency anaemia during long-term therapy. Such occult blood loss is not affected by giving aspirin with food but may be reduced by use of enteric-coated or other modified-release tablets, H2-antagonists, or high doses of antacids. Major upper gastrointestinal bleeding occurs rarely.
Some persons, especially those with asthma, chronic urticaria, or chronic rhinitis, exhibit notable hypersensitivity to aspirin, which may provoke reactions including urticaria and other skin eruptions, angioedema, rhinitis, and severe, even fatal, paroxysmal bronchospasm and dyspnoea. Persons sensitive to aspirin often exhibit cross-sensitivity to other NSAIDs.
Aspirin increases bleeding time, decreases platelet adhesiveness, and, in large doses, can cause hypoprothrombinaemia. It may cause other blood disorders, including thrombocytopenia.
Aspirin and other salicylates may cause hepatotoxicity, particularly in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis or other connective tissue disorders. In children the use of aspirin has been implicated in some cases of Reye’s syndrome, leading to severe restrictions on the indications for aspirin therapy in children. For further details see under Reye’s Syndrome,.
Aspirin given rectally may cause local irritation; anorectal stenosis has been reported.
The active ingredient or other ingredients of Tannic Acid (Medi-Kool Pak) can rarely be a hypersensitivity reaction
