Complete dosing information for SODIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM LACTATE, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, CALCIUM CHLORIDE, AND DEXTROSE MONOHYDRATE
Medical guidance required: Dosing information here is for educational purposes. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dose based on your specific condition, kidney function, other medications, and medical history. Never adjust your dose without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The dose is dependent upon the age, weight and clinical condition of the patient. As reported in the literature, the dosage and constant infusion rate of intravenous dextrose must be selected with caution in pediatric patients, particularly neonates and low birth weight infants, because of the increased risk of hyperglycemia/hypoglycemia. Drug Interactions Additives may be incompatible. Consult with pharmacist, if available. When introducing additives, use aseptic technique, mix thoroughly and do not store. The presence of calcium limits their compatibility with certain drugs that form precipitates of calcium salts, and also prohibits their simultaneous infusion through the same administration set as blood because of the likelihood of coagulation. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. See PRECAUTIONS .
