WHAT POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 0.3% W/V & GLUCOSE 5% W/V IS AND WHAT IT IS
USED FOR
Potassium Chloride 0.3% w/v & Glucose 5% w/v is a solution of
potassium chloride and glucose in water.
Potassium chloride is a chemical substance (often called a ‘salt’)
that occurs naturally in the blood.
Glucose is one of the body’s sources of energy. This solution
provides 200 kilocalories per litre.
This medicine is used as a source of carbohydrates (sugar) in the
prevention and treatment of:

loss of potassium from the body (e.g. after treatment with certain
diuretics [water tablets])

low level of potassium in the blood (hypokalaemia) in situations that
may cause potassium chloride
and water loss including:
-
when you cannot eat or drink, due to illness or after surgery
-
pronounced sweating due to high fever

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Prevention and treatment of potassium depletion and/or hypokalaemia in
cases where supply of water and
carbohydrates is required due to either restriction of the intake of
fluids and electrolytes or depletion by normal routes.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Doses may be expressed in terms of mEq or mmol of potassium, mass of
potassium, or mass of potassium salt:
1 g KCl = 525 mg of K
+
or 13.4 mEq or 13.4 mmol of K
+
and Cl
-
1 mmol K
+
= 39.1 mg K
+
.
The dosage of this solution depends on the age, weight, clinical and
biological (acid-base balance) conditions of the
patient, concomitant therapy and in particular the patient’s
hydration state.
_General posology_
The recommended dosage for the treatment of carbohydrates and fluid
depletion is
- for adults: 500 ml to 3 litres/24 h
- for babies and children:
0 - 10 kg body weight: 100 ml/kg/24 h
10 - 20 kg body weight: 1000 ml + (50 ml/kg over 10 kg) /24 h
> 20 kg body weight: 1500 ml + (20 ml/kg over 20 kg)/24 h
