Warnings and Cautions
openFDA Drug Labeling5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities : Encourage adequate hydration, assess concurrent medications, and consider laboratory assessments prior to and after each use. ( 5.1 , 7.1 ) Cardiac arrhythmias : Consider pre-dose and post-colonoscopy ECGs in patients at increased risk. ( 5.2 ) Seizures : Use caution in patients with a history of seizures and patients at increased risk of seizures, including medications that lower the seizure threshold. ( 5.3 , 7.1 ) Patients with renal impairment or taking concomitant medications that affect renal function : Use caution, ensure adequate hydration and consider laboratory testing. ( 5.4 , 7.1 ) Suspected GI obstruction or perforation : Rule out the diagnosis before administration. ( 4 , 5.6 ) Patients at risk for aspiration : Observe during administration. ( 5.7 ) Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis: Inform patients to seek immediate medical care if symptoms occur. (5.8) 5.1 Serious Fluid and Serum Chemistry Abnormalities Advise all patients to hydrate adequately before, during, and after the use of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution. If a patient develops significant vomiting or signs of dehydration after taking Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution, consider performing post-colonoscopy lab tests (electrolytes, creatinine, and BUN). Fluid and electrolyte disturbances can lead to serious adverse events including cardiac arrhythmias, seizures and renal impairment. Correct fluid and electrolyte abnormalities before treatment with Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution. Use Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution with caution in patients with conditions, or who are using medications, that increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte disturbances or may increase the risk of adverse events of seizure, arrhythmias, and renal impairment [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] . Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution can cause temporary elevations in uric acid [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Uric acid fluctuations in patients with gout may precipitate an acute flare. The potential for uric acid elevation should be considered before administering Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution to patients with gout or other disorders of uric acid metabolism. 5.2 Cardiac Arrhythmias There have been rare reports of serious arrhythmias associated with the use of ionic osmotic laxative products for bowel preparation. Use caution when prescribing Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution for patients at increased risk of arrhythmias (e.g., patients with a history of prolonged QT, uncontrolled arrhythmias, recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, or cardiomyopathy). Consider pre-dose and post-colonoscopy ECGs in patients at increased risk of serious cardiac arrhythmias. 5.3 Seizures There have been reports of generalized tonic-clonic seizures and/or loss of consciousness associated with use of bowel preparation products in patients with no prior history of seizures. The seizure cases were associated with electrolyte abnormalities (e.g., hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia) and low serum osmolality. The neurologic abnormalities resolved with correction of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities. Use caution when prescribing Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution for patients with a history of seizures and in patients at increased risk of seizure, such as patients taking medications that lower the seizure threshold (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants), patients withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, or patients with known or suspected hyponatremia [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] . 5.4 Use in Patients with Risk of Renal Injury Use Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium …

Use in Specific Populations
openFDA Drug Labeling8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproductive studies have not been conducted with Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data available data on the presence of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses) have been established for cleansing of the colon as a preparation for colonoscopy in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. Use of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution in this age group is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled trial of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution in adults and a single, dose-ranging, controlled trial in 89 pediatric patients 12 years to 16 years of age [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . In the pediatric trial, Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 6-ounce doses) did not demonstrate additional treatment benefit and more patients reported gastrointestinal adverse reactions compared to Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses). Therefore, Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 6-ounce doses) is not recommended for pediatric patients 12 years of age and older [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . The safety profile of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses) in this pediatric population was similar to that seen in adults [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . The safety and effectiveness of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 375 patients who received Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution in clinical trials, 94 (25%) were 65 years of age or older, and 25 (7%) were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution, administered as the recommended split-dose (2-day) regimen, were observed between geriatric patients and younger patients. Geriatric patients reported more vomiting when Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution was given as a one-day preparation (not a recommended regimen). Elderly patients are more likely to have decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function and may be more susceptible to adverse reactions resulting from fluid and electrolyte abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . 8.6 Renal Impairment Use Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution with caution in patients with renal i …
Mechanism of Action
openFDA Drug Labeling12.1 Mechanism of Action Sulfate salts provide sulfate anions, which are poorly absorbed. The osmotic effect of unabsorbed sulfate anions and the associated cations causes water to be retained within the gastrointestinal tract.
