POTASSIUM CHLORIDE FOR 15 % IV 20 ML VIAL PSI
Potassium Chloride 15% IV 20 ML Vial
Potassium Chloride 15% IV 20 ML Vial is a sterile, concentrated solution intended for intravenous administration.
It is a vital electrolyte replacement medication used to correct or prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels) in patients who cannot tolerate or absorb oral potassium, or in cases requiring rapid replenishment.
Potassium is essential for the proper functioning of nerve impulses, muscle contraction (especially the heart), and kidney function.
This injectable form allows for precise and controlled delivery of potassium directly into the bloodstream under medical supervision.
Product Details
This product contains 15% Potassium Chloride in a 20 ML vial, formulated for intravenous use.
It is a critical component in maintaining electrolyte balance and overall physiological function, particularly in clinical settings.
Benefits of Use
- Replenishes and maintains adequate potassium levels in the body.
- Supports normal cardiac rhythm and function.
- Essential for proper nerve and muscle function.
- Helps in regulating fluid balance and blood pressure.
How to Use
- Potassium Chloride 15% IV 20 ML Vial must be administered intravenously by a qualified healthcare professional.
- Always dilute the concentrated solution sufficiently with a suitable intravenous fluid (e.g., Normal Saline, Dextrose 5%) before administration.
- The dosage and rate of infusion should be carefully determined by a physician based on the patient's serum potassium levels, clinical condition, and body weight.
- Continuous ECG monitoring and frequent serum potassium level checks are crucial during administration to avoid hyperkalemia.
- Do not administer undiluted potassium chloride directly into a vein.
Caution & Warnings
- For intravenous use only after proper dilution.
- Fatal if administered undiluted.
- Administer slowly to prevent hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), which can be life-threatening.
- Strict monitoring of ECG and serum potassium concentrations is required.
- Use with extreme caution in patients with renal impairment, adrenal insufficiency, or conditions predisposing to hyperkalemia.
- Concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs may increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
- Do not use if the solution is discolored or contains particulate matter.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Store at controlled room temperature unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
