Clinical Pharmacology

Sykes 5% Dextrose Injection has value as a source of water and calories. It will induce diuresis depending on the clinical condition of the patient.

Indications

Sykes 5% Dextrose Injection is indicated as a source of water and calories for all species.

Contraindications

Sykes 5% Dextrose Injection is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to corn or corn products.

Warnings

Excessive administration of dextrose injection may result in significant hypokalemia.

Sykes 5% Dextrose Injection should not be administered simultaneously with blood through the same infusion set because of the possibility that pseudoagglutination of red cells may occur.

The intravenous administration of Sykes 5% Dextrose Injection can cause fluid and/or solute overloading resulting in dilution of serum electrolyte concentrations, overhydration, congested states, or pulmonary edema.

The risk of dilutive states is inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the injections. The risk of solute overload causing congested states with peripheral and pulmonary edema is directly proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the injections.

Adverse Reactions

Reactions which may occur because of the injection 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.

Precautions

This is a single dose unit. It contains no preservatives. Use entire contents when first opened.

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.

Sykes 5% Dextrose Injection should be used with caution in patients with known subclinical or overt diabetes mellitus.

Do not administer unless solution is clear and both seal and container are intact.

Dosage and Administration

To be used as directed by a licensed veterinarian. The dosage of the Sykes 5% Dextrose Injection is dependent upon the age, weight and clinical conditions of the patient as well as laboratory determinations. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.

For use in one patient on one occasion only. Discard any unused portion. Care should be taken with administration technique to avoid administration site reactions and infection.

Additives may be incompatible. Complete information is not available. Those additives known to be incompatible should not be used. Consult with Pharmacist, if available. If, in the informed judgement of the veterinarian, it is deemed advisable to introduce additives, use aseptic technique. Mix thoroughly when additives have been introduced. Do not store solutions containing additives.

Over-dosage

In an event of over-hydration or solute overload, re-evaluate the patient and institute appropriate corrective measures. See Warnings, Precautions and Adverse Events.
