WHAT PHYSIONEAL 40 IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
PHYSIONEAL 40 is a solution for peritoneal dialysis. It removes water
and waste products from the blood.
It also corrects abnormal levels of different blood components.
PHYSIONEAL 40 contains varying levels of
glucose (1.36%, 2.27% or 3.86%). The higher the strength of glucose in
the solution, the greater the amount
of water that will be removed from the blood.
PHYSIONEAL 40 may be prescribed to you if you have:

either temporary or permanent kidney failure;

severe water retention;

severe disturbances in the acidity or alkalinity (pH) and the level of
salts in your blood;

certain types of drug intoxication where no other treatments are
available.
PHYSIONEAL 40 solution has an acidity (pH) close to that of your
blood. Therefore it may be particularly
useful if you experience inflow pain or discomfort with other more
acidic Peritoneal Dialysis solutions.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE PHYSIONEAL 40
