Complete adverse effect profile including incidence rates and management
Important Safety Information
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
ADVERSE REACTIONS Symptoms may result from an excess or deficit of one or more of the ions present in TPN Electrolytes.
Therefore, frequent monitoring of electrolyte blood levels is recommended.
Sodium excess can cause edema and exacerbation of congestive heart failure.
Excess potassium can cause deviations from the normal ECG (electrocardiogram).
Potassium deficits can impair neuromuscular function, causing muscle weakness or frank paralysis, intestinal dilatation and ileus.
Calcium deficits can produce neuromuscular hyperexcitability, ranging from paresthesias, cramps and laryngospasm to tetany and grand mal seizures.
Depressed calcium levels can accompany administration of parenteral phosphorous or large amounts of albumin.
Magnesium deficiency can precipitate neuromuscular dysfunction, hyperirritability, psychotic behavior, tachycardia and hypertension.
Magnesium excess can cause muscle weakness, ECG changes, sedation and mental confusion.
WARNINGS CONCENTRATED, HYPERTONIC, ADDITIVE SOLUTION.
Must be diluted in TPN solution prior to administration.
CONTAINS NO PHOSPHATE.
Patients receiving TPN solutions containing concentrated dextrose require additive phosphate, in addition to TPN Electrolytes.
Between 10 and 15 mM (310 to 465 mg) phosphorus are physically compatible with as much as 10 to 12 mEq calcium in the same admixture.
Like all medications, Tpn Electrolytes can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
