warnings and cautions
Warnings and Precautions For intravenous administration only under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. This product is a hypertonic solution and should be administered cautiously to minimize the risk of vein irritation, phlebitis, or infusion-related reactions. Use with caution in patients with renal impairment, hepatic impairment, electrolyte imbalance, or acid-base disorders, as L-Arginine may affect metabolic and electrolyte status. Monitor patients for signs of hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, dyspnea, hypotension, or anaphylactoid reactions. Discontinue administration if a serious reaction occurs. Contains benzyl alcohol 2% as a preservative. Benzyl alcohol has been associated with serious adverse reactions, including fatal “gasping syndrome,” in neonates and premature infants. Use caution in patients with cardiovascular disease or compromised fluid balance, as intravenous administration may contribute to circulatory overload in susceptible individuals. Rapid or excessive administration may increase the risk of nausea, vomiting, flushing, headache, or hypotension. Protect from light and from deep freezing. Do not use if the solution is discolored, cloudy, or contains particulate matter. Use aseptic technique when entering the multiple-dose vial. Discard unused portion according to institutional policy and applicable regulations.
