{"adverse_reactions":["ADVERSE REACTIONS None known."],"clinical_pharmacology":["CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY The acid pH of most intravenous solutions has been implicated as a factor in the production of postinfusion (chemical) phlebitis not caused by obvious infection. Vein irritation, with local redness and tenderness near the site of venipuncture or along the course of a vein, appears to be related to the nature of the substances in the infusion and the speed (insufficient dilution by the bloodstream) as well as the duration (prolonged exposure of the intima) of infusion. Other contributing factors include the size of the vein used for venipuncture, shape or method of insertion of the venipuncture needle, the use or type of indwelling catheter, infection at the infusion site and the age of the patient (children and females seem to be more susceptible). The pH of commonly used dextrose infusion solutions ranges from 3.5 to 6.5. Other commonly used solutions also may have an acid pH. Since non-neutral parenteral solutions with a low (acid) pH are known to cause chemical irritation of tissues, it is not surprising that chemical phlebitis may occur as a complication with their infusion. Vein irritation is most likely when the duration of infusion is long or when hemodilution is minimized by a large needle in a small vein. The amount of sodium bicarbonate recommended as an additive to neutralize acid parenteral solutions is too small to exert a clinically significant increase in electrolyte content."],"contraindications":["CONTRAINDICATIONS Not for use as a systemic alkalizer."],"description":["DESCRIPTION Neut (4% sodium bicarbonate additive solution) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution of sodium bicarbonate in water for injection. It is administered by the intravenous route only after addition as a neutralizing agent to an acidic large volume parenteral solution. Each 5 mL contains sodium bicarbonate 0.2 g (2.4 mEq each of Na + and HCO 3 ‾ ); edetate disodium, anhydrous 10 mg added as a stabilizer. Total sodium (Na + ) content of each 5 mL is 56.1 mg (11.2 mg/mL). The solutions contain no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer; pH 8.0 (7.0 to 8.5). Sodium Bicarbonate, USP is chemically designated as NaHCO 3 , a white crystalline powder soluble in water."],"dosage_and_administration":["DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION One vial (5 mL) of Neut added to a liter (1000 mL) of any of the following Hospira parenteral solutions will increase the pH to a more physiologic range.
