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

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
