Blackmores Professional S.S. 69 84t

Sodium sulfate is used for mineral supplementation. When prescribed by a healthcare professional, S.S. 69 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.

PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

• Detoxification: Sulfate ions are involved in phase II liver detoxification (conjugation), rendering metabolites more water-soluble, thereby inactivating them and facilitating their excretion in bile, faeces, or urine. Sodium is required for bile production and is incorporated into the conjugation products of several bile salts.

• Fluid balance: Sodium is essential for maintaining body fluid balance, regulating blood volume, and osmolarity. Sodium and sulfate act together to maintain fluid balance within connective tissue. Sulfated proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix attract cations such as sodium, which in turn attracts water, hydrating the connective tissue mesh and maintaining its integrity.

• Connective tissue: Sulfate is a structural component of many glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, glycolipids, and glycoproteins in connective tissue, contributing to its strength, elasticity, and hydration.

DOSAGE

• Adults: Take 1 tablet 3 times a day with meals, or as professionally prescribed.

• Children under 12 years: As professionally prescribed.

INGREDIENTS

CAUTION: May be required in some patients due to sodium content. S.S. 69 may interact with other medications. Sodium may increase the risk of oedema associated with antihypertensive agents (calcium channel blockers, vasodilators), corticosteroids, NSAIDs, estrogens, licorice, and carbenoxolone.

Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional.
