Calcium acetate is a chemical compound which is a calcium salt of acetic acid. It has the formula Ca(C 2 H 3 O 2) 2. Its standard name is calcium acetate, while calcium ethanoate is the systematic name. An older name is acetate of lime. The anhydrous form is very hygroscopic; therefore the monohydrate (Ca(CH 3 COO) 2 •H 2 O) is the common form.
For example, only 255 mg of elemental calcium in typical 3 tablets of calcium lactate, meaning that to obtain 1000 mg of supplemental elemental calcium from this form, 12 tablets would need to be consumed. [26] Calcium gluconate is a form of calcium found in gluconic acid, a carboxylic acid found in plants and honey. It contains 9% elemental ...
Calcium acetate and magnesium carbonate compounds bind phosphorus derived from food thereby forming indigestible phosphate salts in the intestine that are subsequently excreted with the faeces. The aim of the therapy is to reach a normal serum phosphorus level, i.e. between 0.81 and 1.45 mmol/L (2.5–4.5 mg/dL). [3]
This is due to the combination of two active ingredients found in this version of Burow's solution, i.e. aluminum sulfate tetradecahydrate and calcium acetate monohydrate. [8] [9] [10] The solution is used by some to reduce inflammation and potential infection from conditions such as ingrown nails, in a warm water soak. [11]
Calcium sulfite is used as a bleach in papermaking and as a disinfectant, calcium silicate is used as a reinforcing agent in rubber, and calcium acetate is a component of liming rosin and is used to make metallic soaps and synthetic resins. [47] Calcium is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [53]
Calcium acetate: Lenal Ace: Aluminum free: Calcium containing-potential risk of hypercalcemia and ectopic calcification PhosLo: Higher efficacy than calcichew/sevelamer: Parathyroid hormone oversuppression Moderately cheap: Gastrointestinal side effects Lower calcium load than calcium carbonate: Large tablets & capsules, nonchewable formulation
Calcium magnesium acetate (CMA, with chemical formula C 12 H 18 CaMg 2 O 12 [1]) is a deicer and can be used as an alternative to road salt.It is approximately as corrosive as normal tap water, and in varying concentrations can be effective in stopping road ice from forming down to around −27.5 °C (−17.5 °F) (its eutectic temperature [2]).
Sevelamer is used in the management of hyperphosphatemia in adult patients with stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis. Its efficacy at lowering phosphate levels is similar to that of calcium acetate, but without the accompanying risk of hypercalcemia and arterial calcification.
