PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Potassium Chloride for Injection Concentrate, USP is indicated in the treatment of potassium deficiency states when oral replacement is not feasible. Potassium Chloride for Injection Concentrate is contraindicated in diseases where high potassium levels may be encountered, and in patients with hyperkalemia, renal failure and in conditions in which potassium retention is present.
The following are packaged in plastic vials. These are Single Dose Vials, no preservative added, packaged 25 vials per tray. Unused portion of vial should be discarded.

Abbreviated New Drug Application
POTASSIUM CHLORIDE - POTASSIUM CHLORIDE INJECTION, SOLUTION, CONCENTRATE FRESENIUS KABI USA, LLC ---------- POTASSIUM CHLORIDE FOR INJECTION CONCENTRATE USP Rx only CONCENTRATE MUST BE DILUTED BEFORE USE _FOR INTRAVENOUS INFUSION ONLY_ _MUST BE DILUTED PRIOR TO INJECTION_ DESCRIPTION: Potassium Chloride for Injection Concentrate, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic concentrated solution of Potassium Chloride, USP in Water for Injection to be administered by intravenous infusion only after dilution in a larger volume of fluid. Each mL of Potassium Chloride for Injection Concentrate contains 2 mEq of K and Cl_ _equivalent to 149 mg of potassium chloride and has an osmolarity of 4000 mOsmol/L (calc). A more concentrated Potassium Chloride for Injection Concentrate is also available. Each mL of this injection contains 3 mEq of K and Cl equivalent to 224 mg of potassium chloride and has an osmolarity of 6000 mOsmol/L(calc). pH (4.0-8.0) may have been adjusted with hydrochloric acid and if necessary, potassium hydroxide. Some packages are intended for multiple dose use and contain preservatives (0.05% methylparaben and 0.005% propylparaben). A summary of the available products is presented in the HOW SUPPLIED section. Potassium Chloride for Injection Concentrate (appropriately diluted) is a parenteral fluid and electrolyte replenisher. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Potassium is the chief cation of body cells (160 mEq/L of intracellular water) and is concerned with the maintenance of body fluid composition and electrolyte balance. Potassium participates in carbohydrate utilization and protein synthesis, and is critical in the regulation of nerve conduction and muscle contraction, particularly in the heart. Chloride, the major extracellular anion, closely follows the metabolism of sodium, and changes in the acid-base balance of the body are reflected by changes in the chloride concentration. Normally about 80 to 90% of the potassium intake is excreted in the urine, the remainder in the stools and to a small extent, in the perspirati 阅读完整的文件
