Overview

What is Plasma-Lyte R?

PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic isotonic solution in a single dose container for intravenous administration. Each 100 mL contains 640 mg of Sodium Acetate Trihydrate, USP (CHNaO•3HO); 496 mg of Sodium Chloride, USP (NaCl); 89.6 mg of Sodium Lactate (CHNaO); 74.6 mg of Potassium Chloride, USP (KCl); 36.8 mg of Calcium Chloride, USP (CaCl•2HO); and 30.5 mg of Magnesium Chloride, USP (MgCl•6HO). It contains no antimicrobial agents. The pH is adjusted with hydrochloric acid. The pH is 5.5 (4.0 to 8.0).

PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) administered intravenously has value as a source of water, electrolytes, and calories. One liter has an ionic concentration of 140 mEq sodium, 10 mEq potassium, 5 mEq calcium, 3 mEq magnesium, 103 mEq chloride, 47 mEq acetate, and 8 mEq lactate. The osmolarity is 312 mOsmol/L (calc). Normal physiologic osmolarity range is approximately 280 to 310 mOsmol/L. Administration of substantially hypertonic solutions may cause vein damage. The caloric content is 11 kcal/L.

The VIAFLEX plastic container is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride (PL 146 Plastic). The amount of water that can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g., di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), up to 5 parts per million. However, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.

Trovafloxacin has not been shown to be effective in the treatment of syphilis. Antimicrobial agents used in high doses for short periods of time to treat gonorrhea may mask or delay the symptoms of incubating syphilis. All patients with gonorrhea should have a serologic test for syphilis at the time of diagnosis.

PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) should be used with great care, if at all, in patients with congestive heart failure, severe renal insufficiency and in clinical states in which there exists edema with sodium retention.

PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) should be used with great care, if at all, in patients with hyperkalemia, severe renal failure and in conditions in which potassium retention is present.

PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) should be used with great care in patients with metabolic or respiratory alkalosis. The administration of lactate or acetate ions should be done with great care in those conditions in which there is an increased level or an impaired utilization of these ions, such as severe hepatic insufficiency. PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) should not be administered simultaneously with blood through the same administration set because of the likelihood of coagulation.

The intravenous administration of PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) can cause fluid and/or solute overloading resulting in dilution of serum electrolyte concentrations, overhydration, congested states or pulmonary edema. The risk of dilutional states is inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the injection. The risk of solute overload causing congested states with peripheral and pulmonary edema is directly proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the injection.

In patients with diminished renal function, administration of PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) may result in sodium or potassium retention. PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) is not for use in the treatment of lactic acidosis.


What are the precautions of Plasma-Lyte R?

Clinical evaluation and periodic laboratory determinations are necessary to monitor changes in fluid balance, electrolyte concentrations and acid base balance during prolonged parenteral therapy or whenever the condition of the patient warrants such evaluation.

PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) should be used with caution. Excess administration may result in metabolic alkalosis.

Caution must be exercised in the administration of PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) to patients receiving corticosteroids or corticotropin.

Pregnancy

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) in pediatric patients have not been established by adequate and well controlled trials, however, the use of electrolyte solutions in the pediatric population is referenced in the medical literature. The warnings, precautions and adverse reactions identified in the label copy should be observed in the pediatric population.

Geriatric Use

Clinical studies of PLASMA-LYTE R Injection (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 2, USP) did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or drug therapy.

Do not administer unless solution is clear and seal is intact.


What are the side effects of Plasma-Lyte R?

Reactions which may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration include febrile response, infection at the site of injection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis extending from the site of injection, extravasation and hypervolemia.

If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the infusion, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.

Antacids, Sucralfate, and Iron: The absorption of oral trovafloxacin is significantly reduced by the concomitant administration of some antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, citric acid/sodium citrate (Bicitra), as well as sucralfate and iron (ferrous ions). These agents as well as formulations containing divalent and trivalent cations such as Videx, (Didanosine), chewable/buffered tablets or the pediatric powder for oral solution, should be taken at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after oral trovafloxacin administration. (See .)

Morphine: Co-administration of intravenous morphine significantly reduces the absorption of oral trovafloxacin. Intravenous morphine should be administered at least 2 hours after oral TROVAN dosing in the fasted state and at least 4 hours after oral TROVAN is taken with food. Trovafloxacin administration had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of morphine or its metabolite, morphine-6-β-glucuronide. (See .)

Warfarin: There have been reports during the post-marketing experience that trovafloxacin/alatrofloxacin enhance the effects of warfarin, including cases of bleeding. The mechanism for this reaction is unknown. Prothrombin time, International Normalized Ratio (INR) or other suitable anticoagulation tests should be closely monitored if trovafloxacin/alatrofloxacin is administered concomitantly with warfarin. Patients should also be monitored for evidence of bleeding.

Minor pharmacokinetic interactions without clinical significance have been observed with co-administration of TROVAN Tablets with caffeine, omeprazole and calcium carbonate. (See .)

No significant pharmacokinetic interactions with theophylline, cimetidine, digoxin, warfarin, or cyclosporine have been observed with TROVAN Tablets. (See .)

Alatrofloxacin should not be co-administered with any solution containing multivalent cations, e.g., magnesium, through the same intravenous line. (See .)
