Fleet Phospho Soda Litigation

Fleet Phospho Soda litigation may be appropriate if you or a loved one has been harmed after taking Fleet Phospho Soda. There have been several serious side effects including kidney failure associated with the product, so it is no surprise that the number of lawsuits against the manufacturer is mounting.

Injury lawsuits may help you obtain a settlement or court award, large enough to cover your medical expenses, emotional suffering, physical injuries and other financial losses.

What is Fleet Phospho Soda?

Commonly used by patients to prepare for a colonoscopy, Fleet Phospho Soda is a saline laxative that cleanses the bowels. This gives the doctor a clearer picture of your colon so that any abnormalities can be detected easily.

Dangerous Side Effects

Fleet Phospho Soda is made of sodium phosphate, which dehydrates the intestines in order to encourage bowel movements. Unfortunately, while it's cleaning out your intestines, it's also causing a dangerous build up of calcium in your kidneys.

As the calcium builds up, it forms crystals, also known as kidney stones. The kidneys act as the body's filters and the calcium crystals impair this crucial function leading to severe kidney damage and kidney or renal, failure. This condition is called phosphate nephropathy and it's largely associated with taking a sodium phosphate based solution in preparation for a colonoscopy.

Fleet Phospho Soda Precautions

The best precaution is not to take it, especially if you've ever had:

A blockage in your bowel
Congestive heart failure
Kidney failure
Excessive phosphate in your blood

Also, if you fall into any of the categories below, it's best to talk to your doctor before you take phospho soda. These include if you:

Are on a diet that restricts sodium
Have stomach or bowel problems
Have liver or kidney problems
Have high blood pressure
Have a history of kidney or bladder infections
Have kidney stones
Are nauseous, vomiting or have stomach pains

Fleet Phospho Soda Lawsuits

Fleet Phospho Soda caught the attention of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which issued a warning about its safety. Following this warning the C.B. Fleet Company, who manufacture the solution, issued a voluntary recall of Fleet Phospho Soda. However, the Fleet Company defends its product, instead placing the blame on those patients who were severely affected, contending that the patients didn't take the solution correctly.

Lawsuits allow families and individuals affected by kidney damage or failure caused by Fleet Phospho Soda the compensation needed to pay for the injuries they suffered and the losses they incurred. If you have taken Fleet Phospho Soda and experienced kidney damage, it's important to contact an experienced lawyer who can get you the compensation you deserve.
