Xenosol 500ml Infusion

Uses:

• Fluid Replacement

How does Xenosol 500ml Infusion work?

Xenosol 500ml Infusion helps regulate fluid balance in and around the body's cells and tissues, restoring normal salt levels. It serves as a vital source of electrolytes and hydration.

Side Effects of Xenosol 500ml Infusion

Possible reactions include fever, injection site infection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis spreading from the injection site, extravasation, and hypervolemia. Adverse reactions to drug additives are also possible. Monitoring of electrolyte levels is essential, as an excess or deficiency of ions can cause symptoms. Hypernatremia may lead to edema and worsen congestive heart failure, while excess chloride ions can cause bicarbonate ion loss and acidification.

Quick Suggestions:

• Regularly drink fluids to prevent dehydration.
• If you are unable to drink large volumes of fluids, try drinking small sips frequently.
• Consume foods rich in water content such as watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, oranges, Brussels sprouts, apples, etc
• Monitoring changes in fluid balance, electrolyte concentrations, and acid-base balance is advised.

Indications:

This intravenous solution, 0.9% sodium chloride infusion, is primarily used for replenishing extracellular fluid, treating metabolic alkalosis with fluid loss, and addressing moderate sodium depletion. It can also be used as a priming solution in hemodialysis, to initiate and conclude blood transfusions without damaging red blood cells, and as a diluent for compatible drug additives.

Pharmacology

Sodium chloride is the primary extracellular cation, necessary for electrolyte and fluid balance, osmotic pressure regulation, and water distribution. This solution serves as a source of electrolytes and water for hydration, treatment of metabolic acidosis, hemodialysis priming, hyperosmolar diabetes treatment, and as a diluent for compatible drug additives.

Dosage & Administration of Xenosol 500ml Infusion

The dosage is determined by a physician based on factors like age, weight, clinical condition, and laboratory results. Frequent monitoring of blood glucose, electrolyte concentrations, and fluid balance is crucial during prolonged parenteral therapy. For the average adult, one liter of 0.9% sodium chloride infusion meets daily sodium and chloride requirements. There is no specific pediatric dose; it depends on weight, clinical condition, and laboratory results. Fluid administration should align with calculated maintenance or replacement fluid needs.

Interaction

Inform your doctor if you are taking corticosteroids, hormones (corticotropin), or anti-psychotics (lithium).

Contraindications

This solution is contraindicated when its administration might harm the patient.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy Classification C. Xenosol 500ml Infusion has not been studied in animal reproductive research. Its impact on pregnancy or reproductive capacity in pregnant women is uncertain. It should only be administered during pregnancy if absolutely necessary. For breastfeeding mothers, caution should be exercised, although the medication is not known to be excreted in human milk.

Precautions & Warnings

Aside from the aforementioned reactions, doctors should be attentive to potential adverse reactions to drug additives. Frequent electrolyte level monitoring is crucial, and if an adverse reaction occurs, the infusion should be stopped, the patient evaluated, appropriate treatment measures taken, and the remaining fluid saved for inspection when deemed necessary.

Storage Conditions

Store below 30°C
