When prescribed by a healthcare professional P.P.85 is generally well tolerated at the recommended dose and may be prescribed for infants, children, pregnant and lactating women, and the elderly.The easy-to-swallow tablet can be halved or crushed to facilitate low-dose prescribing for infants and children.Prescribing InformationPhosphate is vital for energy production, and potassium is a component of the sodium-potassium pump. Consequently both minerals are involved in neuromuscular activities such as muscle function and nerve conduction.Energy production: Phosphate is incorporated into intracellular compounds such as ATP and cyclic AMP, and consequently plays a key role in energy production.Neuromuscular function: Potassium is an integral component of the sodium-potassium pump, which maintains the potential difference across cell membranes, so is required for the regulation of neuromuscular excitability and stimulation, transmission of electrochemical impulses and contraction of muscle fibres.Cardiovascular function: The heart requires the correct balance of potassium and calcium for rhythmicity of contractions.
