Toldimfos is an aromatic phosphorus compound which falls between phosphorous itself and phosphoric acid in the stages of oxidation. Toldimfos sodium is the sodium salt of 2- methyl-4-(dimethylamino)phenylphosphinic acid. It is used to treat and prevent diseases associated with parturition and peri-partum period, developmental and nutritional disorders in young animals, and bone growth disorders and tetany or paresis caused by calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus metabolism disorders. Toldimfos has been used as a human medicine since 1920. While it is no longer indicated for human use, it is used in horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and goats, and administered by intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous injection. No specific data on the pharmacodynamic action of toldimfos was submitted. The precise mode of action of toldimfos is unknown and it is questionable whether the effect of toldimfos is simply a matter of the substitution of deficient phosphorus. It appears more likely that the effect of toldimfos arises due to multiple stimulation of metabolism with the body.
