Oral Sodium Phosphate (OSP) products such as Fleet Phospho-soda solution, Fleet Accu-Prep solution, and Visicol tablets used for cleansing of the bowels have been identified as causes of a rare but serious form of kidney failure.
Patients who should be especially concerned about their OSP product usage are those who’ve had kidney or heart problems in the past, or are elderly. Dehydration is another important affecting factor with this specific kind of kidney failure – if you’re having problems with dehydration, speak to your doctor about it, especially before being administered an OSP product. Other medicines have been known to be a deciding factor in OSP damages, as well as pregnancy.
If you or someone you know has been injured due to defective products such as OSP tablets, please contact a personal injury lawyer such as Siegfried and Jensen in Salt Lake City, Utah.
