Uses
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Sodium Acetate Injection, USP is indicated as a source of sodium for addition to large volume intravenous fluids to prevent or correct hyponatremia in patients with restricted or no oral intake. It is also useful as an additive for preparing specific intravenous fluid formulas when the needs of the patient cannot be met by standard electrolyte or nutrient solutions.
Dosage
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Sodium Acetate Injection, USP is administered intravenously only after dilution in a larger volume of fluid . The dose and rate of administration are dependent upon the individual needs of the patient. Serum sodium should be monitored as a guide to dosage. Using aseptic technique, transfer the desired amount to other intravenous fluids to provide the appropriate number of milliequivalents (mEq) of sodium acetate. Sodium Acetate Injection, USP in the Pharmacy Bulk Package is designed for use with manual, gravity flow operations and automated compounding devices for preparing intravenous nutritional admixtures. Admixtures must be stored under refrigeration and used within 24 hours after compounding.
Side Effects
ADVERSE REACTIONS Sodium overload can occur with intravenous infusion of excessive amounts of sodium-containing solutions. (See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS .)
Warnings
WARNINGS Sodium Acetate Injection, USP must be diluted before use. To avoid sodium overload and water retention, infuse sodium-containing solutions slowly. Solutions containing sodium ions should be used with great care, if at all, in patients with congestive heart failure, severe renal insufficiency and in clinical states in which there exists edema with sodium retention. In patients with diminished renal function, administration of solutions containing sodium ions may result in sodium retention. Solutions containing acetate ions should be used with great care in patients with metabolic or respiratory alkalosis. CONTRAINDICATIONS Sodium Acetate Injection, USP is contraindicated in patients with hypernatremia or fluid retention.
