Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Some drugs increase risks due to fluid and electrolyte changes ( 7.1 ) Oral medication taken within 1 hour of start of each dose may not be absorbed properly ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Drugs that May Lead to Fluid and Electrolyte Abnormalities Use caution when prescribing PEG-3350, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride for oral solution for patients who are using medications that increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte disturbances or may increase the risk of adverse events of seizure, arrhythmias, and prolonged QT in the setting of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities. Consider additional patient evaluations as appropriate [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.2 , 5.3 , and 5.4 ) ] in patients taking these concomitant medications.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities, arrhythmias, seizures and renal impairment– assess concurrent medications and consider testing in some patients ( 5.1 , 5.2 , 5.3 , 5.4 ) Patients with renal insufficiency– use caution, ensure adequate hydration and consider testing ( 5.4 ) Suspected GI obstruction or perforation – rule out the diagnosis before administration ( 4 , 5.6 ) Patients at risk for aspiration – observe during administration ( 5.7 ) Not for direct ingestion – dilute and take with additional water ( 5.8 ) 5.1 Serious Fluid and Serum Chemistry Abnormalities Advise patients to hydrate adequately before, during, and after the use of PEG-3350, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride for oral solution. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS PEG-3350, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride for oral solution is contraindicated in the following conditions: Gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction, ileus, or gastric retention Bowel perforation Toxic colitis or toxic megacolon Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of PEG-3350, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride for oral...
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with PEG-3350, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride for oral solution. It is also not known whether PEG-3350, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride for oral solution can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. PEG-3350, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride for oral solution should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
