Went for my 5th pembro on Monday 13th of October. Whilst there I was handed a prescription for Sandoz phosphate as my phosphates were low. It was for 2 tablets twice a day for 5 days so not for long. I asked whether I should have another blood test after I finished them but was told it was not necessary. I accepted this but with hindsight wondered how they would know whether my phosphates level normalised after these tablets without a blood test.
I've also since noticed that they contain a lot of sodium and as my blood pressure is just kept under control with the help of three BP meds this was a bit concerning. Just as well it is only five days worth. And to top it all they taste terrible.
I was wondering if anyone else has been prescribed these and how you got on with them. Or if you had low phosphate did you deal with it in a different way, maybe through diet ?
Many thanks
Vicki
