WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
:
Tell your doctor if you:
•
suffer from diabetes
•
suffer from acute illness, pain, post-operative stress, infections,
burns, diseases of the central
nervous system
•
have any type of heart-, liver- or kidney disease
•
have been treated with a medicine increasing the effect of vasopressin
(a hormone regulating
the body's water retention) because this may increase the risk of
hospital-acquired low sodium
levels in the blood (hyponatraemia).
Your doctor may want to do regular blood and urine tests to check your
condition.
Your doctor or nurse will make sure that the solution is given to you

_This medicine is indicated in the following situations:_
- Rehydration when there is loss of water greater than loss of sodium
chloride and other osmoles.
- Prevention of dehydration.
- Vehicle for other medicines during the preoperative, peroperative
and immediate postoperative periods.

4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Intravenous infusion by peripheral or central vein.
Posology is to be adapted according to patient's clinical status, body
weight, diet and any possible other treatments.
Infusion rate must not exceed a volume corresponding to 0.5 g of
glucose per minute.
Fluid
balance,
serum
glucose,
serum
sodium
and
other
electrolytes
may
need
to
be
monitored
before
and
during
administration, especially in patients with increased non-osmotic
vasopressin release (syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic
hormone secretion, SIADH) and in patients co-medicated with
vasopressin agonist drugs due to the risk of hyponatraemia.
Monitoring of serum sodium is particularly important for products with
lower sodium concentration compared to serum
sodium concentration.
