Oral Sodium Phospate Lawyer

Sodium Phospate - Kidney Damage Attorneys

WARNING - Oral Sodium Phospate (often used in colonoscopies) can cause significant kidney damage.  Watch this video about FDA warnings. 

We are investigating cases nationwide.  Please call us at 888.956.2487 to talk about your case.  It's always free to talk about your potential case.



Oral Sodium Phospate Warnings (Recall)

Our Sodium Phospate Kidney Injury Lawyers are currently investigating cases from across he U.S. where the use of sodium phosphate has resulted in kidney damage.  The potential for damage is so bad that on December 11, 2008, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) required the product to carry a "Black Box Warning".  This move by the U.S. administration came after the FDA received numerous reports linking oral sodium phosphate products to the onset of acute phosphate nephropathy.  Oral Sodium Phosphate is often used before colonoscopies.  Additionally, there are several common prescription and over-the-counter versions of the product.  These include Visicol and OsmoPrep.  An over-the-counter oral sodium phosphate is Fleet Phospho-Soda.  On December 11, 2008, the same day as the FDA's Black Box Warning requirement, Fleet recalled its Phospho-Soda.

What Is Acute Phosphate Nephropathy?

Acute Phosphate Nephropathy is a form of serious kidney injury.  It occurs when calcium phosphate crystals develop and the renal tube causing permanent renal function impairment.  It is a very serious side-effect that may occur as a result of using oral sodium phosphates.  The U.S. Government is aware of the connection which is why the FDA is now requiring the "Black Box Warning". 

Certain individuals are at increased risk of developing Acute Phosphate Nephropahy.  This includes individuals who are:
  • over 55 years old;
  • hypovolemic (have decreased intravascular volume)
  • already suffering from baseline kidney disease, bowel obstruction, or active colitis
  • using other medications which affect renal perfusion or function (such as diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers ARBs, and possibly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs)

What To Do If You Suspect Kidney Damage From Oral Sodium Phosphate

If you have taken a prescription or over-the-counter oral sodium phosphate and have developed acute phosphate nephropaty (kidney damage), contact our Sodium Phosphate Kidney Damage Lawyers.  We are currently investigating cases from across the country.  It is always free to discuss your case.  You can contact us at 888.956.2487 or through the contact form on this website.
