This medicine is called "Compound Sodium Lactate Solution for Infusion
BP”, but will be referred
to as "Compound Sodium Lactate Infusion” throughout the document.
1.
WHAT COMPOUND SODIUM LACTATE INFUSION IS AND WHAT IT IS USED
FOR
Compound Sodium Lactate Infusion is a solution of the following
substances in water:
-
sodium chloride
-
potassium chloride
-
calcium chloride dihydrate
-
sodium lactate.
Sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride and lactate are chemical
substances (electrolytes) found in the
blood.
Compound Sodium Lactate Infusion is used:
-
to treat a loss of body water and chemicals (e.g. by heavy sweating,
kidney disorders)
-
to treat you, if the volume of blood in your blood vessels is low
(hypovolaemia) or if you have
low blood pressure (hypotension)
-
in metabolic acidosis (when the blood becomes too acidic).

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARE GIVEN COMPOUND SODIUM
LACTATE INFUSION
YOU MUST NOT RECEIVE COMPOUND SODIUM LACTATE INFUSION IF YOU ARE
SUFFERING FROM ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Compound Sodium Lactate solution is used in the following indications:

Restoration of extracellular fluid and electrolytes balances or
replacement of extracellular fluid
loss where isotonic concentrations of electrolytes are sufficient

Short term volume replacement (alone or in association with colloid)
in case of hypovolaemia or
hypotension.

Regulation or maintenance of metabolic acidosis balance and/or
treatment of mild to moderate
metabolic acidosis (except lactic acidosis)

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Adults, the Elderly and Children: _
Fluid balance, serum electrolytes and acid-base balance should be
monitored before and during
administration, with particular attention to serum sodium in patients
with increased non-osmotic
vasopressin release (syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone
secretion, SIADH) and in
patients co-medicated with vasopressin agonist drugs, due to the risk
of hospital acquired

hyponatraemia (see sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.8). Monitoring of serum
sodium is particularly important
for hypotonic fluids.
Compound Sodium Lactate solution has a tonicity of 278 mOsm/l
(approx.)
The infusion rate and volume depend on the age, weight, clinical
condition (e.g. burns, surgery,
head-injury, infections), and concomitant therapy should be determined
by the consulting physician
