1. WHAT GELOPLASMA, SOLUTION FOR INFUSION, IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
GELOPLASMA is a solution for intravenous infusion. It contains
gelatin, which belongs to
a group of medicines known as plasma volume expanders. Plasma volume
expanders
work by increasing the fluid in your blood stream, which helps keep
your blood stream and
therefore your blood pressure stable.
This medicine is an emergency treatment in case of low blood volume in
the following
situations:
• Haemorrhage
_(bleeding),_
dehydration,
capillary
leak
_(increased _
_microvascular _
_permeability),_
burns;
• severe vasodilatation _(widening of blood vessels)_ from
traumatic, surgical, septic or toxic
origin.
It is also used in the treatment of low blood volume associated with
hypotension _(low blood_
_pressure)_
in the context of severe vasodilatation related to the effects of
hypotensive
drugs, notably during anesthesia.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE GELOPLASMA,SOLUTION FOR
INFUSION
DO NOT USE GELOPLASMA, SOLUTION FOR INFUSION:
• if you are allergic to gelatin or any of the other ingredients of
this medicine (listed in sec-
tion 6);
• if you are allergic to an allergen called
“galactose-α-1,3-galactose (alpha-Gal)” or to red
meat (mammal meat) and offal;
• if you have an excess of fluid in the body;
• if you have hyperkalaemia _(excess of potassium in the blood)_;
• if you have an high accumulation of alkaline substance (e.g.
bicarbonate, lactate) in your
blood and body fluid;
• if you are at the end of pregnancy (during labour/delivery): see
"Pregnancy, breast-
feeding and fertility" section.
