Can a patient on kidney dialysis use MI Paste?
The amount of phosphate contained in MI Paste 40g tube is more than 0.2%. We say “more than” because 0.2% is phosphoric acid by itself and CPP-ACP also contains phosphate. GCC does not recommend using MI Paste on dialysis patients, although the amount of ingestion of phosphate by using MI Paste would be very small. We do not recommend kidney dialysis patients to use MI Paste. Although the amount of ingestion of phosphate is very small we do not recommend it use. We do not show a warning about phosphate for dialysis patients in the IFU if we do that, we have to include so many warnings for all the ingredients. Instead, we show all the ingredients on the tubes and boxes.
