Additional information

Extravasation risk.

Note potassium content. Rapid infusion can cause hypotension, dysrhythmia and cardiac arrest; monitor ECG, respiratory rate and blood pressure when infused at the maximum rate.

Do not infuse with IV calcium-containing fluids. If necessary, phosphate and IV calcium-containing products may be administered concurrently via completely separate lines. However, this may increase the risk of calcium deposition in soft tissues in some circumstances.
