“…The complications associated with milk alkali syndrome are metastatic calcifications, pancreatitis and reversible cardiac conduction abnormalities [14-16]. As for the management, withdrawal of the offending agent and intravenous volume expansion are the most important initial steps.…”

We report a case of a patient presenting with a triad of hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis and renal failure secondary to calcium bicarbonate intake for osteoporosis prevention. It is the classical presentation of the “modern” milk alkali syndrome that presents several characteristics distinguishing it from the “old” syndrome described secondary to peptic ulcer disease treatment. Milk alkali syndrome affects middle-aged female patients taking over-the-counter calcium carbonate. Clinically, these patients present in an acute hypercalcemia crisis, responding rapidly to hydration. The phosphorus level is normal to low. Bisphosphonate should be used cautiously due to the risk of symptomatic hypocalcemia.

“…In a recent retrospective study of 125 inpatients hospitalised for hypercalcaemia, milk alkali syndrome due to ingestion of calcium carbonate containing medications, was the third leading cause (Kleinig & Torpy 2004). The easy availability of nonprescription medications, such as calcium carbonate containing antacids, has been associated with several reported cases of milk alkali syndrome (Beall & Scofield 1995; Duthie et al 1995; Picolos et al 2004; 2005). However, only two previous reports have identified the Rennie ® preparation, specifically, as the culprit (Vanpee et al 2000; Gunda et al 2001).…”

Milk alkali syndrome is a cause of hypercalcaemia, renal failure and alkalosis, and is potentially reversible if detected early and the calcium and alkali source withdrawn. It was originally described in patients ingesting large amounts of calcium containing milk for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease. We present a modern day version of the syndrome in three cases which were associated with excessive intake of Rennie, a calcium carbonate containing antacid.
