Features
- Combines potassium phosphate and magnesium phosphate in a single tablet.
- When prescribed by a healthcare professional, P.P.M.P. is generally well tolerated at the recommended dose and may be prescribed for infants, children, pregnant and lactating women, and the elderly.
- The easy-to-swallow tablet can be halved or crushed to facilitate low-dose prescribing for infants and children.
Background Information
- Potassium, magnesium and phosphate work together to support energy production and neuromuscular function.
- Energy production: The production and storage of energy in the body depends on the availability of both magnesium and phosphate . Phosphate is incorporated into compounds such as ATP and cyclic AMP. Magnesium combines with and stabilises the ATP molecule, and the resultant Mg-ATP complex (rather than ATP alone), is the substrate for most ATP-requiring enzymes .
- Neuromuscular function: Magnesium has inhibitory and stabilising effects on neurons at the neuromuscular junction, and plays an influencing role in the release of neurotransmitters.
- Potassium is an integral component of the sodium-potassium pump, which maintains the potential difference across cell membranes, so is required for the regulation of neuromuscular excitability and stimulation, transmission of electrochemical impulses and contraction of muscle fibres.
- Cardiovascular function: Magnesium is involved in the regulation of peripheral and cerebral vascular tone.
- The heart requires the correct balance of potassium and calcium for rhythmicity of contractions.
