Disodium glycerol phosphate Uses, Dosage, Side Effects and more
Disodium glycerol phosphate is one of several glycerophosphate salts. It is used clinically to treat or prevent low phosphate levels . Glycerophosphate is hydrolyzed to inorganic phosphate and glycerol in the body . The extent of this reaction is dependent on the activity of serum alkaline phosphatases.
Glycerophosphate acts as a source of inorganic phosphate through hydrolysis .
