Name of the medicinal product Potassium Chloride 0.15 % w/v and Glucose 5% w/v Solution for Infusion -BP 2. Qualitative and quantitative composition Potassium Chloride: 1.5 g/L Glucose (as monohydrate): 50.0 g/L mmol/l: K + : 20 Cl - : 20 For the full list of excipients: see 6.1. 3. Pharmaceutical form Solution for infusion. Clear solution, free from visible particles 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 restriction of the intake of fluids and electrolytes by normal routes. 4.2 Posology and method of administration Posology _Adults, the Elderly and Children_ Doses may be expressed in terms of mEq or mmol of potassium, mass of potassium or mass of potassium salt: 1g 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/24h - for babies and children : - 0-10 kg body weight: 100 ml/kg/24h - 10-20 kg body weight: 1000 ml + (50 ml /kg over 10 kg) /24h - > 20 kg body weight: 1500 ml + (20 ml/kg over 20 kg)/24h The infusion rate should not exceed the patient's glucose oxidation capacities in order to avoid hyperglycaemia. Therefore the maximum dose ranges from 5mg/kg/min for adults to 10-18 mg/kg/min for babies and children depending on the age and the total body mass. _Posology for prevention and treatment of potassium depletion_ Typical dose of potassium for the prevention of hypokalaemia may be up to 50 mmoles daily and similar doses may be adequa Lire le document complet
