Vitamins Information (Home) > Side Effects > Phosphorus Phosphorus Side EffectsPeople with severe kidney disease must avoid excessive phosphorus. High phosphorus intake may impair absorption of iron, copper, and zinc. Based primarily on animal studies, some authorities have suggested that excess intake of phosphate is hazardous to normal calcium and bone metabolism, but this idea has been challenged. Phosphoric acid–containing soft drinks have been implicated in elevated kidney stone risk, but not all studies have found this relationship. Ingestion of excessive amounts of aluminum-containing antacids (such as Di-Gel®, Riopan®, Maalox®, or Mylanta®) can cause phosphorus deficiency. Certain medicines may interact with phosphorus. Refer to drug interactions for a list of those medicines.
