Phosphate supplement

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Phosphate supplement is a type of medication that is used to treat or prevent low levels of phosphate in the blood. Phosphate is a substance that the body needs for many functions, such as building and repairing bones and teeth, making proteins, and carrying out many other important functions.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Phosphate supplements are used to treat or prevent low levels of phosphate in the blood. Low levels of phosphate in the blood can be caused by certain diseases, medications, or problems with the parathyroid glands. Phosphate supplements can also be used to treat certain metabolic disorders and to prevent kidney stones.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all medications, phosphate supplements can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Less common side effects include muscle weakness, confusion, and irregular heartbeat. If these side effects occur, it is important to contact a healthcare provider immediately.

Precautions[edit | edit source]

Before taking a phosphate supplement, it is important to tell your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, including prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also important to tell your healthcare provider about any allergies you have and any other medical conditions you have.

Dosage[edit | edit source]

The dosage of phosphate supplement will depend on the individual's age, weight, and medical condition. It is important to take the supplement exactly as directed by a healthcare provider.
