What is Potassium Phosphate and Sodium Phosphate
Potassium phosphate and sodium phosphate is a phosphorus supplement that increases urinary phosphate and pyrophosphate, and can be used in the dietary management of hypophosphatemia.
As a phosphorus supplement, the tablet formulations supply 25% of the US Recommended Daily Allowance (US RDA) of phosphorus, per tablet, for adults and children > 4 years of age.
Patients requiring potassium or sodium restriction may not be good candidates for this formulation, as each tablet yields approximately 298 mg of sodium (13 mEq) and 45 mg of potassium (1.1 mEq). When treatment is initiated, some patients experience a mild laxative effect.
This usually resolves after the first few days but could persist to an unpleasant degree, requiring a dose reduction until the effect subsides or potentially discontinuation.
Additionally, patients who have kidney stones may pass old stones upon initiation of phosphate therapy. Such patients should be warned of this possibility.
