POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
POSOLOGY
Individualize dosage. Guide dosage and rate of infusion by ECG and
serum electrolyte determinations.
The potassium deficit is calculated according to the following
formula:
mmol potassium = kg body weight x 0.2 x 2 x [4.5
–
current
serum potassium (mmol/l)]. (Body weight x 0.2 represents the
extracellular fluid volume.)
_Maximum daily dose _
Not more than 2
–
3 mmol/kg body weight/day.
_Maximum infusion rate _
Up to 20 mmol potassium per hour in adults (corresponding to 0.3 mmol
potassium/kg body
weight/hour).
_Children_
IV infusion up to 3 mEq/kg/day. Adjust volume of administered fluids
to body size.
METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Intravenously use. Use only diluted as an additive to infusion
solutions. The potassium concentration in
the infusion solution must not exceed 40 mmol/l. Suitable vehicle
solutions are e.g. 5% or 10% glucose
solutions, isotonic sodium chloride solution, Compound Sodium Lactate
solution, or complete
electrolyte solutions.
Do not infuse rapidly. Adjust rate of administration according to
tolerance. Use of the largest peripheral
vein and a small bore needle is recommended.
In addition to ECG effects, vein irritation may result when a
potassium concentration greater than 40
mEq/l is infused.
Concentrated potassium solutions are for IV admixtures only; do not
use undiluted. Direct injection
