SODIUM ACID PHOSPHATE
About
SODIUM ACID PHOSPHATE is used to treat high blood calcium levels caused by hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands) and multiple myelomatosis (blood cancer). Additionally, SODIUM ACID PHOSPHATE is also used to treat low blood potassium due to vitamin D resistant rickets (a bone disease that does not respond to vitamin D treatment) and vitamin D resistant hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (bone softening condition).
SODIUM ACID PHOSPHATE contains ‘Sodium acid phosphate’, which binds with the calcium; this helps the calcium levels go back to normal. It also helps in increasing the levels of potassium in the blood. Thereby, SODIUM ACID PHOSPHATE helps in treating high calcium and low potassium levels. You are advised to take SODIUM ACID PHOSPHATE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as stomach upset, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult a doctor before taking SODIUM ACID PHOSPHATE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. SODIUM ACID PHOSPHATE should be given to children only if prescribed by a doctor. Inform your doctor if you are on sodium controlled diet or if you have reduced kidney function. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Hyperparathyroidism: The parathyroid glands become overactive and secrete too much parathyroid hormone. This leads to hypercalcemia, i.e., a rise in calcium levels in the blood. Symptoms include muscle pain, joint weakness, tiredness, loss of appetite, bone pain, nausea, vomiting, and constipation.
Multiple myelomatosis: It is a type of cancer in which the plasma cells become cancerous and multiply. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cells in the bone marrow. Multiple myelomatosis damages the bones, kidneys, immune system, and red blood cell count. Hypercalcemia is the most frequent metabolic complication of myeloma.
Vitamin D-resistant hypophosphatemic osteomalacia or rickets: It is a bone disease that does not respond to treatment with vitamin D. This condition is characterised by hypophosphatemia (low phosphorus levels in the blood), diminished intestinal absorption of calcium, and increased renal clearance of phosphate. It is a metabolic disease that leads to reduced mineralisation of the bone matrix.
