WHAT IONOLYTE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ionolyte is a solution for infusion.
Ionolyte is used
_ _
for the treatment of:

extracellular dehydration (water loss)

hypovolaemia (sudden drop in volume of circulating blood)

mild metabolic acidosis (increased acid in the blood caused by a
metabolic disorder).
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARE GIVEN IONOLYTE
DO NOT USE IONOLYTE

if you are allergic to Sodium acetate trihydrate, Sodium chloride,
Potassium chloride, Magnesium
chloride hexahydrate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine
(listed in section 6).
YOU SHOULD NOT RECEIVE IONOLYTE IF YOU HAVE

hyperhydration (too much fluid in the body), especially in cases of
pulmonary oedema (fluid
accumulation in the lungs) and congestive cardiac failure (your heart
cannot pump enough blood
througout the body)

severely impaired kidney function

metabolic alkalosis (decreased acidity of the blood caused by a
metabolic disorder)

hyperkalaemia (too high blood levels of potassium)
Your doctor will check these.

4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Ionolyte is indicated for:

4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Adults and paediatric patients
The dose and rate of administration depends on age, body weight,
clinical and biological conditions of the patient (including
acid-base balance) and the concomitant therapy.
Recommended dosage:
The maximum daily dose corresponds to the fluid and electrolyte needs
of the patient. To temporary restore blood volume 3 to
5 times the volume of the lost blood is required.
Typical recommended dosages are:

In continuous treatment outside acute fluid losses the infusion rate
is usually 40 ml/kg/24 hours in adults.
In paediatric patients the infusion rate is 5 ml/kg/hour in average
but the value varies with the age: 6-8 ml/kg/hour for i
