Nuphos 200mg Injection

About

Nuphos Injection is a sterile solution containing phosphate, an essential electrolyte critical for numerous physiological functions within the human body. Phosphate plays a vital role in bone and teeth formation, energy metabolism (as a component of ATP), cell membrane integrity, and the proper functioning of muscles and nerves. This medication is primarily used to correct severe hypophosphatemia, a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of phosphate in the blood, which can arise from various causes such as malnutrition, malabsorption syndromes, refeeding syndrome, or excessive renal excretion. Administered intravenously, Nuphos rapidly replenishes phosphate stores, helping to restore electrolyte balance and prevent serious complications associated with profound phosphate deficiency, including muscle weakness, respiratory failure, and neurological dysfunction. Careful monitoring of serum phosphate and calcium levels is essential during treatment.

Uses

• Treatment of severe hypophosphatemia.
• Phosphate replacement in refeeding syndrome.
• Management of electrolyte imbalances.
• Support for bone health and metabolic processes.

Directions For Use

Administer intravenously under strict medical supervision. Dosage is individualized based on patient's serum phosphate levels and clinical condition.

Benefits

• Rapidly corrects phosphate deficiency.
• Restores critical electrolyte balance.
• Supports cellular energy production.
• Essential for strong bones and teeth.
• Improves muscle and nerve function.
• Prevents complications of hypophosphatemia.

Side Effects

• Hyperphosphatemia (excess phosphate).
• Hypocalcemia (low calcium levels).
• Tetany or muscle cramps.
• Renal failure (with excessive administration).
• Soft tissue calcification.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Diarrhea.
• Injection site reactions.
• Dizziness.
• Headache.
• Hypotension.
• Cardiac arrhythmias.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - No direct interaction, but chronic alcohol abuse can lead to hypophosphatemia, requiring careful monitoring.
• Pregnancy - Use with caution; only if clearly needed and potential benefits outweigh risks. Consult your doctor.
• Breastfeeding - Use with caution; consult your doctor as phosphate may pass into breast milk.
• Liver - Generally safe, but monitor electrolyte balance in patients with severe liver disease.
• Kidney - Contraindicated in severe renal impairment due to high risk of hyperphosphatemia and associated complications.
• Lung - No specific contraindications, but monitor overall fluid and electrolyte balance, especially in critically ill patients.
