Hypophos Tablet 667 mg contains Calcium Acetate, a phosphate binder used primarily in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to control elevated serum phosphate levels (hyperphosphatemia). By reducing phosphate absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, it helps maintain proper mineral balance and prevents complications such as bone disorders and vascular calcification.
