PLASMA-LYTE 148 (PH 7.4) AND GLUCOSE 5% W/V BAG 500ML

Product Overview

PLASMA-LYTE 148 (pH 7.4) and Glucose 5% w/v is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution intended for intravenous infusion. This advanced solution is carefully formulated to be isotonic with blood plasma, providing essential electrolytes and a source of energy in the form of 5% dextrose (glucose). It is designed to help restore fluid and electrolyte balance in patients, while also offering a caloric supply to prevent or treat hypoglycemia and ketosis. The solution’s physiological pH of 7.4 makes it particularly suitable for maintaining the body's natural acid-base balance during fluid therapy, minimizing the risk of metabolic acidosis associated with some intravenous fluids. Available on e-commerce platforms like NahdiOnline, , and , this product is a cornerstone in clinical fluid management.

Benefits of Use

• Effectively restores and maintains fluid balance in dehydrated patients.
• Replenishes critical electrolytes such as Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Chloride, Acetate, and Gluconate, which are vital for numerous bodily functions.
• Provides an immediate source of energy through 5% Dextrose, preventing or treating hypoglycemia and contributing to metabolic needs.
• Physiologically balanced pH of 7.4 helps in maintaining the body's normal acid-base status.
• Suitable for a wide range of clinical situations requiring fluid, electrolyte, and caloric supplementation.

How to Use

1. Administer intravenously using sterile equipment.
2. The specific dose and rate of administration should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient's age, weight, clinical condition, and fluid/electrolyte requirements.
3. Inspect the bag for clarity of the solution and absence of leakage prior to use. Do not use if the solution is discolored, cloudy, or if the container is damaged.
4. Additives may be introduced through the injection port, but compatibility should always be verified by a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
5. Ensure aseptic technique throughout the preparation and administration process to prevent contamination.

Caution & Warnings

• This product is for intravenous use only.
• Administer with caution in patients with cardiac or renal insufficiency, as excessive administration may lead to fluid overload and electrolyte imbalance.
• Careful monitoring of fluid balance, electrolyte concentrations, and acid-base balance is necessary during therapy.
• Do not administer simultaneously with blood through the same administration set because of the possibility of pseudoagglutination or hemolysis.
• Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported; discontinue infusion immediately if such reactions occur.
• Not for direct injection, only for infusion.
