Urinary calcium is decreased while urinary phosphorus and oxalate are increased. Uses: Decrease incidence of new renal stone formation in absorptive hypercalciuria Type I. Diagnostic test for causes of hypercalciuria other than hyperabsorption. Contraindications: Primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, enteric hyperoxaluria, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, osteitis, low intestinal absorption or renal excretion of calcium, when hypercalciuria is due to mobilization from bones. Children under age 16. Special Concerns: Use with caution in CHF or ascites. Side Effects: GI: Diarrhea, dyspepsia, loose bowel movements. Other: Hyperparathyroid bone disease, hyperoxaluria, hypomagnesiuria, loss of copper, zinc, iron. Long-term use may cause hyperoxaluria and hypomagnesiuria. How Supplied: Powder
