Additional Information.....…………... Treat symptomatically. Ingestion of large quantities of phosphate salts
(over 1.0 grams for an adult) may cause an osmotic catharsis resulting in
diarrhea and probable abdominal cramps. Larger doses such as 4-8
grams will almost certainly cause these effects in everyone. In healthy
individuals most of the ingested salt will be excreted in the feces with the
diarrhea and, thus, not cause any systemic toxicity. Doses greater than 10
grams hypothetically may cause systemic toxicity. Treatment should take
into consideration both anionic and caution portion of the molecule. The
following treatments should be considered for the specific group(s) of
phosphate salts found in this product:
-All phosphate salts, except calcium salts, have a hypothetical risk of
hypocalcemia, so calcium levels should be monitored.
-Ammonium salts have a hypothetical risk of ammonia toxicity. In addition
to calcium levels, ammonia and phosphate levels should be monitored.
-Potassium salts have a hypothetical risk of hyperkalemia which can
cause cardiac arrhythmia. In addition to calcium levels, potassium and
phosphate levels should be monitored. Also consider continuous EKG
monitoring to detect hyperkalemia.
-Sodium salts have a hypothetical risk of hypernatremia. In addition to
calcium levels, sodium and phosphate levels should be monitored.
