POTASSIUM CHLORIDE FOR 15 percent IV 10 ML AMPOULE PSI
Product Description
Potassium Chloride 15% IV 10ml Ampoule from Pharmaceutical Solutions Industries (PSI) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, concentrated solution of potassium chloride in water for injection.
This medication is essential for restoring and maintaining the body's electrolyte balance, particularly in cases of hypokalemia (low potassium levels).
It plays a critical role in nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction (including cardiac muscle), kidney function, and maintaining fluid balance within the body.
Benefits of Use
- Effectively corrects potassium deficiencies, vital for proper body function.
- Supports healthy heart rhythm and cardiovascular function.
- Maintains normal muscle and nerve activity.
- Crucial for cellular metabolic processes and fluid balance.
How to Use
- Potassium Chloride 15% IV 10ml Ampoule must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional.
- This concentrated solution must be diluted in a suitable large volume parenteral solution (e.g., Sodium Chloride Injection, Dextrose Injection) before intravenous administration.
- Dosage should be individualized based on the patient's clinical condition, serum potassium levels, and acid-base balance.
- Administer slowly, typically at a rate not exceeding 10-20 mEq of potassium per hour.
- Continuous ECG monitoring is recommended during administration, especially with higher infusion rates.
- The solution should be visually inspected for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
Caution & Warnings
- Hyperkalemia Risk: Potentially fatal hyperkalemia can develop, especially in patients with renal impairment, uncontrolled diabetes, or rapid administration.
- Never Administer Undiluted: Direct intravenous injection of concentrated potassium chloride can be fatal. It must always be diluted prior to use.
- Monitor Electrolytes: Regular monitoring of serum potassium levels, renal function, and ECG is crucial during treatment.
- Fluid Overload: Use with extreme caution in patients with heart disease, kidney impairment, or conditions predisposing to fluid overload.
- Drug Interactions: May interact with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, potassium-sparing diuretics, and other medications that can increase potassium levels.
- Discontinue immediately if signs of hyperkalemia appear.
Ingredients
- Each 10 mL ampoule contains Potassium Chloride 15% w/v (equivalent to approximately 20.1 mEq of potassium).
