Study Notes
Sodium Phosphate
- Contraindications: Sodium Phosphate is contraindicated in poisonings from iron, cadmium, or selenium due to the increased renal toxicity of the resulting complexes compared to the free metals.
- Absorption: Poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
- Administration: Intravenous administration is typically conducted through slow infusion with isotonic sodium chloride or other electrolyte solutions.
- Physical Properties: Colorless or white granular salt that effervesces in warm, dry air.
- Solution Properties: Solutions are alkaline, with a 0.1 M solution exhibiting a pH of approximately 9.5. Freely soluble in water and very slightly soluble in alcohol.

-
Categorization: Classified based on actions:
- Protective agents
- Antimicrobial agents
- Astringent compounds
- Action: Primarily target small blood vessels (smooth muscle) and are applied topically.
- Astringent Action: Limited penetration, causing a mild antimicrobial effect and restricting blood flow without causing cell death.
