1. What Dipotassium phosphate 1M Fresenius Kabi is and what it is used for
Dipotassium phosphate 1M Fresenius Kabi is a medicine that belongs to a group called electrolyte solutions.
It is used for the replacement of phosphates and potassium in all clinical situations where it is necessary to maintain adequate phosphate and potassium concentrations in the blood:
- Prevention and treatment of hypophosphatemia in patients under parenteral nutrition and/or in patients in intensive care units.
- Diabetic ketoacidosis as a source of potassium.
2. What you need to know before you use Dipotassium phosphate 1M Fresenius Kabi
Do not useDipotassium phosphate 1M Fresenius Kabi
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to dipotassium phosphate or any of the other components of Dipotassium phosphate 1M Fresenius Kabi.
- if you have severe kidney disease.
- if you have been detected with high levels of phosphate or potassium in the blood.
- if you have episodes of kidney stones of ammonium and magnesium phosphates.
- if you have kidney infections caused by microorganisms that hydrolyze urea.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Dipotassium phosphate 1M Fresenius Kabi, your doctor should take special precautions and assess the administration or not of this medicine:
- if you have previously had high levels of phosphates.
- if you have previously had high levels of potassium.
- if you have previously had low levels of calcium.
It is recommended, for all of the above, to monitor renal function, frequent ECGs, and periodic determinations of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium in the blood.
It should be ensured that the indicated doses are not exceeded, as phosphate poisoning and hyperkalemia (high levels of phosphate and potassium in the blood) may occur.
The intravenous perfusion of phosphates in large quantities can lead to hypocalcemia (low levels of calcium in the blood).
In chronic administration, fluid retention may occur.
Use of other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.
The parenteral use of dipotassium phosphate is not recommended together with digitalis glycosides, in digitalized patients, with severe or complete heart block, due to possible hyperkalemia (high levels of potassium in the blood).
If dipotassium phosphate is added to patients stabilized on salicylate treatments, it may produce an elevation of plasma levels of these to toxic concentrations, since the acidification of the urine by phosphates reduces the excretion of salicylates.
The concomitant administration of dipotassium phosphate and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, captopril, cyclosporine, diuretics that spare potassium, enalapril, heparin used chronically, lisinopril, low-sodium milk, salt substitutes, or other medicines that contain potassium may increase potassium levels in the blood, especially in patients with renal dysfunction.
Use ofDipotassium phosphate 1M Fresenius Kabiwith food and drinks
No interaction with food and drinks is known.
Pregnancy and lactation
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.
Driving and using machines

Your doctor must ensure that you receive the correct amount of Dipotassium phosphate 1M Fresenius Kabi. In case the dose is too high for you, your doctor will immediately stop its administration and administer appropriate treatment.
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, Dipotassium phosphate 1M Fresenius Kabi can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Side effects are associated with an excessive dose of the medicine that can produce high levels of potassium in the blood, low levels of calcium in the blood, and phosphate poisoning (hypocalcemic tetany, with convulsions, cramps, numbness, tingling, tremors, and difficulty breathing).
High levels of potassium in the blood are manifested with confusion, fatigue or weakness, cardiac arrhythmia, bradycardia, inexplicable anxiety, weakness or heaviness of legs.
