phosphateSalt or ester of phosphoric acid. Incomplete neutralization of phosphoric acid gives rise to acid phosphates (see acid salt and buffer).

| Fosrenol(R) is a non-aluminium, non calcium phosphate binder that has a very high affinity for dietary phosphate, forming lanthanum phosphate, which passes through the intestines and is eliminated from the body, leading to effective reduction in serum phosphorus levels. ILY101 is being developed for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients on dialysis, reducing the systemic absorption of dietary phosphate. PhosLo is administered orally, and when given with food, it combines with dietary phosphate to form insoluble calcium phosphate complexes that are eliminated from the body, thereby reducing phosphorus absorption, helping to prevent excess blood phosphorus levels. |
