Special precautions for use in animals
- Before administering this solution the clinical and biological data of the animal
have to be carefully examined.
- Monitoring of serum electrolyte levels should be obliged in cases of electrolyte
imbalances, such as hypertonic or hypotonic dehydration, or a single increase of
one electrolyte (e.g. hyperchloraemia) as well. Furthermore monitoring of the acid-
balance and the clinical condition of the animal should accompany the treatment
with this veterinary medicinal product.
- During use of this veterinary medicinal product, the fluid volume range must be
considered. Infusion of larger than necessary volumes may lead to cardiovascular
overload and pulmonary oedema.
- This veterinary medicinal product should be used with caution in congestive heart
failure, severe renal insufficiency and in animals treated with corticoids and
derivates.
- Due to the potassium content of this solution it should be used prudently in severe
renal impairment.
- Infusion of this solution containing lactate ions may cause metabolic alkalosis.
- In animals with liver function disorders, the solution may cause acidosis because
degradation of lactate into bicarbonate requires an intact liver metabolism.
