Phospho-soda, 45 ml 2 pcs.

Phospho-soda is a salt laxative whose action is based on increasing water retention in the small intestine lumen through osmotic processes.

Liquid accumulation in the ileum leads to increased peristalsis and subsequent purification of the intestine.

Indications

Preparation for endoscopic or x-ray examination of the colon, preparation for surgery on the colon.

Pharmacological effect

Phospho-soda is a saline laxative, the action of which is based on increasing, through osmotic processes, water retention in the lumen of the small intestine.

The accumulation of fluid in the ileum leads to increased peristalsis and subsequent cleansing of the intestine.

Special instructions

Fleet Phosphosoda is not used to treat constipation.

Use with caution in elderly and debilitated patients, patients with reduced renal function, heart disease, colostomy, as well as in patients on a low-salt diet, as there is a risk of developing hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, dehydration due to hypernatremia and acidosis.

The patient should be warned to expect frequent loose stools. Very rarely, during endoscopy, single or multiple aphtha-like changes were observed on the mucous membrane of the sigmoid and rectum. These were either lymphoid follicles, or discrete inflammatory formations, or changes in the epithelium caused by the preparation. These abnormalities are not clinically significant and resolve spontaneously without treatment. Rarely, prolongation of the QT interval on the ECG is observed as a result of electrolyte imbalance such as hypocalcemia or hypokalemia.

Use with caution in persons taking calcium channel blockers, diuretics, lithium-based drugs and other drugs that can affect electrolyte levels, as there is a possibility of developing hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, dehydration due to hypernatremia and acidosis.

During the period of taking the drug, the absorption of drugs in the gastrointestinal tract may be delayed or even completely stopped. The effect of regularly taken medications (for example, oral contraceptives, antiepileptic drugs, antidiabetic drugs, antibiotics) may be reduced or absent altogether.
