The potential damage caused by the use of Oral Sodium Phosphate (OSP) as a bowel cleansing product has long been suspected. In 2006, the FDA confirmed this potential by releasing a science paper and Healthcare Professional brief detailing the risk of acute phosphate nephropathy following oral sodium phosphate use. And on December 11, 2008, the FDA upgraded its warnings about oral sodium phosphate to "black box" status, discouraging the use of this bowel cleanser in "at risk" populations.
