==Mechanism of action== ==Mechanism of action==


Calcium acetate/magnesium carbonate is taken orally together with the meal.<ref name=Osvaren /> 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 - 1.45&nbsp;mmol/l (2.5 - 4.5&nbsp;mg/dl).<ref name=KDIGO /> Calcium acetate/magnesium carbonate is taken orally together with the meal.<ref name=Osvaren /> 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.
