Neutra Phos

Potassium Phosphate + Sodium Phosphate

Phosphate supplementation is used to treat hypophosphatemia. Most hypophosphatemia occurs when phosphate leaves the circulation and enters the cells. Phosphate supplementation is often required in people who have undergone surgery and in chronically malnourished people.[1] Sodium phosphate and potassium phosphate can be administered intravenously or orally. Tablets combining the forms are also available.[2] Phosphate is primary excreted in the urine, at the dis...

I was prescribed it for stone prevention. I found that It stopped type cramps of the Charlie horse like a magic potion.I mourn the end of the packets!! How do I get any? Do I need a prescription? ## From what I could gather, Neutra Phos is a powder formulation of sodium and potassium phosphate. It contains the equivalent elemental phosphorus 250 mg (8 mmol), sodium 164 mg (7.1 mEq), and potassium 278 mg (7.1 mEq) per packet. It is used for the treatment of phosphate deficiency and is often ordered by renal doctors for hemodialysis patients. You may be able to get your doctor to write another script for it if you let him or her know how it's been helping you in a number of other ways. Often times, these medications have wide application of off-label uses that are worth inquiring about.

In chemistry, pyrophosphates are phosphorus oxyanions that contain two phosphorus atoms in a P–O–P linkage. A number of pyrophosphate salts exist, such as disodium pyrophosphate (Na2H2P2O7) and tetrasodium pyrophosphate (Na4P2O7), among others. Often pyrophosphates are called diphosphates. The parent pyrophosphates are derived from partial or complete neutralization of pyrophosphoric acid. The pyrophosphate bond is also sometimes referred to as a phosphoanhydride bond, a naming ...

Beractant

Beractant, also known by the trade name of Survanta, is a modified bovine pulmonary surfactant containing bovine lung extract (phospholipids, neutral lipids, fatty acids, and bovine surfactant proteins), to which synthetic DPPC, tripalmitin and palmitic acid are added. The composition provides 25mg/mL phospholipids, 0.5 to 1.75mg/mL triglycerides, 1.4 to 3.5mg/mL free fatty acids, and [1] As an intratracheal suspension, it can be used for the prevention and treatment of neona...

I have chronic acid reflux and my doctor prescribed Equate? I can't take pills and he says I can dissolve in water. ## Equate is not the name of a medication, Equate is a brand name used by Wal-Mart for their over the counter medication products. That said, I really can't tell you anything about what he has prescribed, because there are several options, available. Can you check the prescription details and post back? ## Equate is a stool softener (laxative); that doubles as an antacid. Antacid is a substance which neutralizes stomach acidity, so it makes sense that your doctor would prescribe it to you for chronic acid reflux. Active Ingredients: Sennosides 8.6 mg. Inactive Ingredients: Cellulose, Croscarmellose Sodium, Dicalcium Phosphate, Hypromellose, Magnesium Stearate, Malt...
