Blackmores Prof P.P. 85 84t

Potassium phosphate is for mineral supplementation.

• When prescribed by a healthcare professional P.P.85 is generally well tolerated at the recommended dose and may be prescribed for infants, children, pregnant and lactating women, and the elderly.
• The easy-to-swallow tablet can be halved or crushed to facilitate low-dose prescribing for infants and children.

Prescribing Information
Phosphate is vital for energy production, and potassium is a component of the sodium-potassium pump. Consequently both minerals are involved in neuromuscular activities such as muscle function and nerve conduction.

• Energy production: Phosphate is incorporated into intracellular compounds such as ATP and cyclic AMP, and consequently plays a key role in energy production.
• Neuromuscular function: Potassium is an integral component of the sodium-potassium pump, which maintains the potential difference across cell membranes, so is required for the regulation of neuromuscular excitability and stimulation, transmission of electrochemical impulses and contraction of muscle fibres.
• Cardiovascular function: The heart requires the correct balance of potassium and calcium for rhythmicity of contractions.
