1. What is Hidrofundin Glucosado and how is it used

Hidrofundin Glucosado is an intravenous infusion solution(administered drop by drop directly into a vein via a drip) that belongs to the group of medications known as osmotic diuretics.

Hidrofundin Glucosado is used to hydrate and maintain urine volume (diuretic) in patients undergoing cisplatino therapy(a medication used to treat certain types of cancer)when their doctor determines that it is necessary to force urine elimination due to the dose of cisplatino administered.

2. What you need to know before starting to use Hydrocortisone Glucosate

No use Hidrofundin Glucosado

If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to mannitol, potassium chloride, glucose monohydrate (active ingredients) or to any of the other components of Hidrofundin Glucosado.

If you have any of the following conditions:

  • Severe kidney insufficiency or progressive kidney dysfunction with decreased urine production, unless a test dose produces a diuretic response.
  • Heart failure of the congestive type or any cardiovascular disease, as the expansion of fluid outside of cells (extracellular) may 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 laboratory results show an excess of potassium in the plasma due to various causes.
  • Decreased levels of salts in the blood.
  • Intolerance to glucose or carbohydrates.
  • Severe or uncontrolled diabetes or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia).
  • A disease called Addison's disease.
  • Severe high blood pressure (hypertension).

Warnings and precautions

  • If you are a susceptible patient and when a very high volume of solution is administered, as there may be a risk of cardiovascular overload with pulmonary edema.
  • If you have heart and lung dysfunction (cardiopulmonary) or kidney dysfunction, including acute nephritis, as mannitol (component of Hidrofundin Glucosado) causes an expansion of the fluid surrounding cells (extracellular fluid) that may lead to congestive heart failure.
  • The 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, it may be advisable to administer insulin.
  • The rapid administration of solutions with high glucose concentrations may lead to high plasma glucose concentrations and provoke the so-called hyperosmolar syndrome (characterized by insulin deficiency and increased glucose in the blood).
  • In diabetics and individuals with transient intolerance to carbohydrates, the level of glucose in the blood and urine should be closely monitored and controlled.
  • In cases of low sodium levels in the blood or high potassium levels, severe trauma, severe burns, extensive infections, or massive hemodialysis, as their situation may worsen due to changes in electrolyte balance (salts) produced after administration of the solution.
  • Adequate vitamin intake (particularly vitamin B1) should be ensured.

Consult your doctor, even if any of the circumstances mentioned above have occurred at any time.

It is reported to athletes that this medication contains a component that may result in a positive analytical control for doping.

Use of Hidrofundin Glucosado with other medications

Certain medications may affect the action of others, in these cases, it may be necessary to change the dose or discontinue treatment with one of the medications.

Hidrofundin Glucosado contains mannitol.The concomitant administration of mannitol solutions with the medications called digitalis glycosides (used to treat some heart abnormalities) may potentiate the possibility of digitalis toxicity associated with low potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia).

Mannitol increases the excretion of lithium by the kidneys. Therefore, the concentration of lithium in the blood should be closely monitored in patients receiving lithium salts who are also receiving Hidrofundin Glucosado.

Hidrofundin Glucosado also provides potassium chloride to prevent or correct hypokalemia, so careful monitoring of potassium levels in the blood is essential.

The medications of the type inhibitors of the ECA (angiotensin-converting enzyme) enzyme, diuretics (medications that increase the elimination of water and sodium by the urine) of the type potassium-sparing alone or in combination, and medications that contain potassium, may increase serum potassium levels and lead to severe hyperkalemia, especially in patients with kidney insufficiency.

This medication should not be used with thiopental sodium (general anesthetic), as the acidity of the Hidrofundin solution may cause precipitation of the same.

Hidrofundin Glucosado contains glucose, the administration of glucose to diabetic patients treated with antidiabetic medications (hypoglycemic agents) may lead to a reduction in the effect of these medications. The antidiabetic medications have a therapeutic objective of reducing blood glucose levels. Therefore, an additional supply of glucose could reduce the effectiveness of antidiabetic medications.

Hidrofundin Glucosado should be administered with caution in patients receiving tacrolimus, cyclosporine (medications used in organ transplants to prevent rejection, medications that involve renal toxicity) due to the risk of causing a decrease in potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia).

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medications, including those acquired without a prescription.

Frequency not known

cannot be estimated from available data

Common:

The most important adverse reaction is fluid and electrolyte imbalance (salts) that can cause circulatory disturbancesin the blood. 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, and if not treated, may trigger dehydration, hyperosmolar coma, and death.

Other described side effects are: dry mouth or thirst, headache, nausea, or vomiting.

Uncommon::

Blurred vision, dizziness, skin rash, or urticaria.

Rare::

Chest pain, tachycardia, chills, or fever, urinary difficulties, electrolyte imbalance, pulmonary congestion, renal insufficiency, lower limb or foot swelling, and thrombophlebitis (blood clot with inflammation of veins).
