Posted on: August 9 2013500mg calcium phosphate Convert to sodium monohydrogen acetate dihydrate to obtain the same amount of phosphate
A patient with insufficient phosphorus should take 500mg of calcium phosphate from the physician. Since calcium phosphate only exists in bulk as a technical raw material, I cannot use this to make a preparation. And Calisvit is currently not available. Is it possible to replace this with sodium monohydrogen phosphate dihydrate and how much does it correspond to obtain the same amount of phosphates?
Answer
Calcium phosphate contains 17% phosphorus
Nadi hydrogen phosphate contains 20% phosphorus.
So the conversion is 500 mg x 17/20 = 425 mg
