4. Clinical particulars
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Prevention and treatment of potassium, sodium and chloride depletion
due to a loss of gastrointestinal
fluid (vomiting, diarrhoea, surgical drainage, gastric suction, small
intestinal bypass procedure, or small
bowel fistula), a chronic abuse of laxative, malabsorption syndromes,
mucus secreting villous adenoma of
the small intestine, or renal salt-losing conditions (renal disorders,
overuse of diuretics), particularly in
cases (e.g. starvation) where a source of energy is required.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Posology
_Adults, the Elderly and Children_
The dosage depends on the age, weight, clinical and biological
conditions of the patient and concomitant
therapy.
Typical doses of potassium for the prevention of hypokalemia may be up
to 50 mmoles daily and similar
doses may be adequate in mild potassium deficiency. In severe acute
hypokalemia, up to 20 mmoles of
potassium in 500 ml over 2 to 3 hours under ECG control. Patients with
renal impairment should receive
lower doses.
The maximum recommended dose of potassium is 2 to 3 mmol/kg/24h. The
rate should not exceed 10 to
40 mmol/h to avoid hyperkalaemia. For peripheral infusions, potassium
concentration should be less than
60 mmol/l to avoid pain.
The recommended dosage for the treatment of carbohydrates and fluid
depletion is
