INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Potassium Phosphates Injection, USP, 3 mM P/mL is indicated as a source of phosphorus, for addition to large volume intravenous fluids, to prevent or correct hypophosphatemia in patients with restricted or no oral intake. It is also useful as an additive for preparing specific intravenous fluid formulas when the needs of the patient cannot be met by standard electrolyte or nutrient solutions. The concomitant amount of potassium (K+ 4.4 mEq/mL) must be calculated into total electrolyte dose of such prepared solutions.
Safety has not been established for parenteral nutrition in pediatric patients due to the risk of aluminum toxicity. (See WARNINGS)
