1. What is Hidrofundin Glucosado and what is it used for
Hidrofundin Glucosado is a solution for intravenous infusion (administered drop by drop directly into a vein through a drip) that belongs to the group of medicines called osmotic diuretic solutions.
Hidrofundin Glucosado is used to hydrate and maintain urine volume (diuretic) in patients undergoing therapy with cisplatin (a medicine used to treat some types of cancer) when their doctor deems it necessary to force urine elimination due to the administered dose of cisplatin.
2. What you need to know before you use Hidrofundin Glucosado
Do not use Hidrofundin Glucosado
If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to mannitol, potassium chloride, glucose monohydrate (active ingredients) or any of the other components of Hidrofundin Glucosado.
If you have any of the following conditions:
- Severe kidney failure or progressive kidney dysfunction with decreased urine secretion, unless a test dose produces a diuretic response.
- Congestive heart failure or any cardiovascular disease, as fluid expansion outside the cells (extracellular) can lead to heart failure.
- Severe pulmonary congestion or pulmonary edema.
- Fluid accumulation (edema) with capillary fragility or abnormal membrane permeability.
- Intracranial hemorrhages (except during craniotomy).
- If analytical results reveal excess potassium in the plasma from various causes.
- Decreased salt levels in the blood.
- Glucose or carbohydrate intolerance.
- Severe or uncontrolled diabetes or excess glucose (sugar) in the blood (hyperglycemia).
- A disease called Addison's disease.
- Severe arterial hypertension (high blood pressure).
Warnings and precautions
- If you are a susceptible patient and when the volume of solution administered is very high, as there may be a risk of cardiovascular system overload with pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation in the lung).
- If you have heart and lung (cardiopulmonary) or kidney dysfunction, including kidney tissue inflammation (acute nephritis), as mannitol (a component of Hidrofundin Glucosado) causes an expansion of the fluid surrounding the cells (extracellular fluid) that can lead to congestive heart failure.
- Prolonged administration of solutions containing glucose (such as Hidrofundin Glucosado) may cause a decrease in potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium levels in the blood and may increase the volume of extracellular fluid, causing water intoxication. Additionally, insulin production may be altered, so in certain circumstances, insulin administration may be advised.
- Rapid administration of solutions with high amounts of glucose may lead to elevated plasma glucose concentrations and cause the so-called hyperosmolar syndrome (characterized by insulin deficiency and increased glucose in the blood).
- In diabetic patients and individuals with transient carbohydrate intolerance, blood and urine glucose levels should be monitored and controlled.
- In cases of low sodium levels in the blood or high potassium levels, traumatic injuries, severe burns, extensive infections, or massive hemodialysis, as their situation may worsen due to changes in electrolyte balance (salts) produced after solution administration.
- Adequate vitamin intake (particularly vitamin B1) should be ensured.
Consult your doctor, even if any of the above circumstances have occurred to you at any time.
Athletes are informed that this medicine contains a component that may result in a positive doping test result.
Using Hidrofundin Glucosado with other medicines
Certain medicines may influence the action of others. In these cases, it may be necessary to change the dose or interrupt treatment with one of the medicines.
Hidrofundin Glucosado contains mannitol. The concomitant administration of mannitol solutions with digitalis glycosides (used to treat some heart disorders) may potentiate the possibility of digitalis toxicity associated with low potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia).
Mannitol increases lithium excretion by the kidneys. Therefore, lithium concentration in the blood should be monitored in patients undergoing treatment with lithium salts who receive Hidrofundin Glucosado at the same time.
Hidrofundin Glucosado also provides potassium chloride to prevent or correct hypokalemia, so careful monitoring of potassium levels in the blood will be important.
Medicines of the ACE inhibitor type, potassium-sparing diuretics alone or in combination, and salt substitutes containing potassium or other medicines that contain potassium may increase serum potassium levels and lead to severe hyperkalemia, especially in patients with kidney failure.
This medicine should not be used with sodium thiopental (general anesthetic), as the acidity of the Hidrofundin Glucosado solution may cause precipitation of the latter.
Hidrofundin Glucosado contains glucose. The administration of glucose to diabetic patients treated with antidiabetics (hypoglycemics) may lead to a reduction in the effect of these latter medicines. Antidiabetic drugs aim to reduce blood glucose levels. Consequently, an extra intake of glucose could reduce the effectiveness of antidiabetic drugs.
Administer Hidrofundin Glucosado with caution in patients receiving tacrolimus, cyclosporin (medicines used in organ transplants to prevent rejection, drugs that involve kidney toxicity) due to the risk of inducing a decrease in potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia).
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
In case of pregnancy or breastfeeding, your doctor will decide whether to use this medicine.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.
Driving and using machines

4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The frequency of side effects is classified into the following categories:
Very common | affect more than 1 in 10 patients |
Common | affect between 1 and 10 in 100 patients |
Uncommon | affect between 1 and 10 in 1,000 patients |
Rare | affect between 1 and 10 in 10,000 patients |
Very rare | affect less than 1 in 10,000 patients |
Frequency not known | cannot be estimated from the available data |
Common:
The most important adverse reaction is fluid and electrolyte imbalance (salts) that can cause circulatory disorders. In some cases, if the electrolyte imbalance is severe, the acid-base balance (balance between acidic and basic substances in the body) may also be altered.
If glucose tolerance is impaired, elevated blood glucose and urine glucose levels may occur. If left untreated, they can trigger dehydration, hyperosmolar coma, and death.
Other described side effects include: dry mouth or thirst, headache, nausea or vomiting.
Uncommon:
Blurred vision, dizziness, skin rash or hives.
Rare:
Chest pain, tachycardia, chills or fever, urinary difficulty, electrolyte imbalance, pulmonary congestion, kidney failure, swelling in the lower limbs or feet, and thrombophlebitis (formation of a clot with vein inflammation).
Very rarely, allergic reactions have been observed.
Additionally, reactions due to the solution or administration technique may occur, such as fever, injection site infection, venous thrombosis (clot formation inside veins), or phlebitis (vein inflammation), extravasation (fluid leakage), and hypervolemia (abnormal increase in plasma volume).
If any side effect occurs, your doctor should immediately interrupt the administration of the solution, evaluate the patient, and initiate appropriate treatment.
