Description
Sodium glycerophosphate is one of several glycerophosphate salts. It is used clinically to treat or prevent low phosphate levels [FDA Label]. Glycerophosphate is hydrolyzed to inorganic phosphate and glycerol in the body [A32667]. The extent of this reaction is dependent on the activity of serum alkaline phosphatases.
Indication
Sodium glycerophosphate is indicated for use as a source of phosphate in total parenteral nutrition [FDA Label]. It is used in combination with amino acids, dextrose, lipid emulsions, and other electrolytes.
Mechanism of Action
Sodium glycerophosphate acts as a donor of inorganic phosphate [A32667]. See [DB09413] for a description of phosphate's role in the body.
Pharmacokinetics
