Pharmacology

Indication

Phosphoric acid is used in dentistry and orthodontics as an etching solution, to clean and roughen the surfaces of teeth where dental appliances or fillings will be placed.

Pharmacodynamics

Transport of phosphate from the gut lumen is an active, energy-dependent process that is modified by several factors. ... Vitamin D stimulates phosphate absorption, an effect reported to precede its action on calcium ion transport.

Mechanism of action

Phosphate supplementation of the diet of rodents has been shown to lead to reduction in the incidence of dental caries and different phosphates have different powers in reducing the cariogenic potential of the carbohydrates in a diet. Phosphate supplements seem to exert their cariostatic effect on the tooth surface either directly during eating or by excretion in the saliva.

Absorption

Ortho phosphate is absorbed from, and to a limited extent secreted into, the gastrointestinal tract.

Volume of distribution

Absorbed phosphoric acid is distributed widely in the body as phosphate. Increased serum phosphate concentrations have been reported rarely after phosphoric acid ingestion

Protein binding

Not Available

Metabolism
Not Available
Route of elimination

In adults, about two thirds of the ingested phosphate is absorbed, and that which is absorbed is almost entirely excreted into the urine.

Half-life

In infants with normal renal function the serum half-life of phosphate following single oral or rectal overdose is 5-11 hours

Clearance

Absorbed phosphate is filtered at the glomerulus and partially reabsorbed, with phosphate clearance 80 per cent of creatinine clearance.

DrugInteraction
AbacavirAbacavir may decrease the excretion rate of Phosphoric acid which could result in a higher serum level.
AceclofenacAceclofenac may decrease the excretion rate of Phosphoric acid which could result in a higher serum level.
AcemetacinAcemetacin may decrease the excretion rate of Phosphoric acid which could result in a higher serum level.
AcetaminophenAcetaminophen may decrease the excretion rate of Phosphoric acid which could result in a higher serum level.
AcetazolamideAcetazolamide may increase the excretion rate of Phosphoric acid which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy.
