Phosphate salt bowel preparation regimens alter perioperative acid-base and electrolyte balance

Michael Caswell, PhD

Fleet Laboratories, Lynchburg, USA, E-mail: caswellm{at}cbfleet.com

To the Editor:

Ezri et al.1 described serum electrolyte changes following ingestion of cathartics prior to bowel resection surgery. The authors dosed 90 mL of Fleet® Phospho-soda® to their subjects. This is twice the recommended dose of 30–45 mL according to the current professional Fleet® Phospho-soda® labelling. 2 Fleet® Phospho-soda® should be used only at the recommended dosage and only in patients that do not have contraindications to the drug product.
