VETone ®  OsmoSol™–R Multiple Electrolyte Injection Type 1‚ USP

VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple Electrolyte Injection, Type 1, USP) is a sterile, non–pyrogenic

isotonic solution intended for fluid and electrolyte replenishment in  single dose containers.

May be administered intravenously or subcutaneously using aseptic technique. It contains

no antimicrobial agents· Discard any unused portion. The pH is adjusted with Hydrochloric

Acid and⁄or Sodium Hydroxide. Composition,osmolarity, pH and ionic concentration are

shown in Tabe 1·

image description

Osmolarity (mOsmol⁄L) (calc):294 mOsmol per litre

pH: 6.6 (limit 4.0 to 8.0)

The container is free of PVC and phthalates. The container meets the requirements of USP and is

registered with US FDA

A multiple electrolyte intravenous solution is intended to restore the electrolyte balance and

water for hydration· It is capable of inducing diuresis depending on the clinical condition of

the patient and produces a metabolic alkalinizing effect. Acetate and gluconate ions are

metabolized ultimately to carbon dioxide and water‚ which requires the consumption of

hydrogen cations·

VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple Electrolyte Injection‚ Type 1‚ USP) is indicated as a source

of water and electrolytes for all species· It is also used as an alkalinizing agent.

The introduction of additives to any solution, regardless of type of container, requires

special attention to ensure that no incompatibilities result. While some incompatibilities

are readily absorbed, one must be aware that subtle physical, chemical and pharmacological

incompatibilities can occur. The medical literature, the package insert and other available

sources of information should be reviewed for thorough understanding of possible

incompatibilities·

VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple Electrolyte Injection, Type 1, 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 and sodium retention.

VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple Electrolyte Injection, Type 1, 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.

VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple Electrolyte Injection, Type 1, USP) should be used with great

care in patients with metabolic or respiratory alkalosis. The administration of acetate or

gluconate 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·

The intravenous administration of VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple Electrolyte Injection,

Type 1, USP) can cause fluid and⁄or solute overloading resulting in dilution of serum

electrolyte concentrations, over-hydration, congested states, or pulmonary edema.

The risk of dilutional states is inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentrations

of the injection. The risk of solute overloading causing congested states with peripheral

and pulmonary edema is directly proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the

injections.

In patients with diminished renal functon, administration of VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple

Electrolyte Injection, Type 1, USP) may result in sodium or potassium retention·

Adverse reactions may occur due to the solution or the technique of administration

including febrile response, infection at the site of injection or alergic reactions.

Prolonged intravenous infusion of this type of product may cause venous thrombosis

or phlebitis extending from the site of injection, extravasation, and hypervolemia·

If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the infusion and evaluate the patient,

institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures, and save the remainder of the

fluid for examination if deemed necessary·

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 therapy or whenever the condition of the patient warrants such evaluation.

VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple Electrolyte Injection, Type 1, USP) should be used with

caution. Excess administration may result in metabolic alkalosis·

Caution must be exercised in the administration of VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple

Electrolyte Injection, Type 1, USP) to patients receiving corticosteroids or corticotropin·

Do not administer unless soution is clear and both seal and container are intact·

Solution must be warmed to body temperature prior to administration and

administered at a slow rate. Use solution promptly following initial entry·

Reactions which may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration‚

include febrile response, infection at the Site of injection, extravasation, and

hypervolemia·

If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the infusion and evaluate the patient,

institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures, and save the remainder of the

fluid for examination if deemed necessary·

To be used as directed by a licensed veterinarian. The dosage of the VetOne OsmoSol–R

(Multiple Electrolyte Injection, Type 1, USP) 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 dscoloration

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·

In an event of over-hydration or solute overload, re-evaluate the patient and institute

appropriate corrective measures. See Warnings, Precautions and Adverse Events·

VetOne OsmoSol–R (Multiple Electrolyte Injection, Type 1, USP) in plastic container is available

as follows:

Exposure of pharmaceutical products to heat should be minimized. Avoid excessive heat.

It isrecommended the product be stored at room temperature (86°F/30°C). Protect

from freezing·

To Open

Tear overwrap at slit and remove solution container. Some opacity of the plastic due to

moisture absorption during the sterilization process may be observed. This is normal

and does not affect the solution quality or safety. The opacity will diminish gradually.

Check for minute leaks by squeezing solution container firmly. If leaks are found,

discard solution as sterility may be impaired·

If supplemental medication is desired, follow directions below:

Preparation for Administration

1. Suspend container from eyelet support·

2. Remove plastic protector from inlet/outlet port at bottom of container.

3. Attach administration set.
