POTASSIUM CHLORIDE- POTASSIUM CHLORIDE INJECTION, SOLUTION, CONCENTRATE GENERAL INJECTABLES & VACCINES, INC ---------- POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 40 MEQ 2 MEQ/ML INJECTION CONCENTRATE, USP 20 ML SINGLE DOSE VIAL for Injection Concentrate, USP FOR INTRAVENOUS INFUSION ONLY; MUST BE DILUTED PRIOR TO INJECTION. Fliptop Vials DESCRIPTION Potassium Chloride for Injection Concentrate, USP, is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, concentrated solution of potassium chloride, USP in water for injection administered by intravenous infusion only after dilution in a larger volume of fluid. They are provided in the following variety of concentrations and sizes comprising a choice of single-dose containers, all designed to provide the commonly prescribed amounts of potassium chloride for single-dose infusion after dilution in suitable large volume parenterals. The solutions contain no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer (except for pH adjustment) and each is intended only for single-dose injection (after dilution). When smaller doses are required, discard the unused portion. The pH is 4.6 (4.0 to 8.0). Potassium Chloride for Injection Concentrate, USP (appropriately diluted) is a parenteral fluid and electrolyte replenisher. Potassium Chloride, USP is chemically designated KCl, a white granular powder freely soluble in Potassium Chloride, USP is chemically designated KCl, a white granular powder freely soluble in water. The semi-rigid material used for the plastic vials is fabricated from a specially formulated polyolefin. It is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene. The safety of the plastic has been confirmed by tests in animals according to USP biological standards for plastic containers. The container requires no vapor barrier to maintain the proper drug concentration. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Potassium is the chief cation of body cells (160 mEq/liter of intracellular water) and is concerned with the maintenance of body fluid composition and electrolyte balance. Potassium participates in carbohydrate utilization and protein synthes Læs hele dokumentet
