(2.1 , 2.2, 2.3) 2.1 Important Administration Instructions • Potassium Chloride in Dextrose Injection is only for intravenous infusion [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . • For patients receiving Potassium Chloride in Dextrose Injection at greater than maintenance rates, frequent monitoring of serum potassium concentrations and serial electrocardiograms (ECGs) are recommended. • The osmolarity of Potassium Chloride in Dextrose Injection is 293 mOsmol/L (calc).
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions associated with the use of Potassium Chloride in Dextrose Injection were identified in post marketing reports. Because these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Hypersensitivity reactions : including anaphylaxis and chills [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Other Products that Cause Hyperkalemia : Avoid use in patients receiving such products. If use cannot be avoided, monitor serum potassium concentrations. (7.1) • Other Products that Affect Glycemic Control, Vasopressin or Fluid and/or Electrolyte Balance : Monitor blood glucose concentrations, fluid balance serum electrolyte concentrations and acid-base balance.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypersensitivity Reactions : monitor for signs and symptoms and discontinue infusion if reactions occur. (5.1) • Hyperkalemia : May result in cardiac arrhythmias. Avoid use in patients with, or at risk for, hyperkalemia. If use cannot be avoided, use a product with a low amount of potassium chloride, infuse slowly and monitor serum potassium concentrations and ECGs. (5.2) • Hyperglycemia or Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State : Monitor blood glucose and administer insulin as needed. (5.3 , 8.4) • Hyponatremia : Avoid in patients with or at risk for hyponatremia. If use cannot be avoided, monitor serum sodium concentrations. (5.4 , 8.4) • Hypokalemia: Avoid in patients with or at risk for hypokalemia. If use cannot be avoided, monitor serum potassium levels. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Potassium Chloride in Dextrose Injection is contraindicated in patients with: • known hypersensitivity to potassium chloride and/or dextrose [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1) ] • clinically significant hyperkalemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • clinically significant hyperglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Known hypersensitivity to potassium chloride or...
