According to Baxter, Phoxillum will facilitate electrolyte management during CRRT, by allowing use of a single type of solution across a wide clinical spectrum of acute kidney injury (AKI) patients.

Developed for paediatric and adult patients, the approval comprises Phoxillum formulations containing different bicarbonate concentrations.

The company plans to start marketing of Phoxillum phosphate-containing solutions in the second quarter of 2015, in the US. Phoxillum also received orphan drug designation from FDA for use in CRRT.
