For prevention and treatment of potassium depletion and/or
hypokalaemia in cases where supply of water and
carbohydrates is required due to restriction of intake of fluids and
electrolytes by normal routes.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For intravenous infusion under medical supervision.
Single use only.
The pathophysiological response to dehydration, to electrolyte loss
and to potassium chloride and glucose infusion will
vary with the age of the patient being treated and this should be
taken into account during rehydration therapy.
The volume of solution needed to replenish deficits varies with
hydration state, age, body weight, complementary
treatment and clinical and biochemical status.
