A. Oral sodium phosphate solutions, also known as OSPS, are used to clean the bowel before a colonoscopy or bowel surgery. They are also commonly used as laxative. A popular oral sodium phosphate solution, Fleet Phospho-Soda is available without a prescription. Unfrotunately, when used as a bowel cleanser, Fleet Phospho-Soda can lead to serious kidney problems including acute phosphate nephropathy and kidney failure.
