Contents of the package and additional information

Physiological Hydrofundin is a perfusion solution(administered drop by drop directly into the vein through a drip) that belongs to the group of medications called osmotic diuretics.

Physiological Hydrofundin is used to hydrate and maintain urine volume (diuretic) in patients undergoing therapy with cisplatin (medication used to treat some types of cancer) when their doctor estimates that it is necessary to force urine elimination due to the dose of cisplatin administered.

No use Hidrofundin Fisiológico

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

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.Kidney dysfunction
• 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 accumulation of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema).
• Accumulation of fluid (edema) with capillary fragility or abnormal membrane permeability.
• Intracranial hemorrhages (except during craniotomy).
• Abnormal serum levels of sodium, chloride, or potassium due to various causes.
• Metabolic acidosis (excess of acidic substances in the blood).
• States of hyperhydration (excess of water in the body) and conditions of sodium retention, hypertonic dehydration, as it may lead to excess sodium.
• Addison's disease.
• Severe high blood pressure.

Warnings and precautions

• If you are susceptible and when a large volume of solution is administered, consider the risk of cardiovascular overload with pulmonary edema.
• If you have heart and lung dysfunction (cardiopulmonary) or kidney dysfunction, including acute nephritis, as mannitol causes an expansion of fluid outside of cells (extracellular) that may lead to congestive heart failure.
• If you have high blood pressure.
• If you have a liver condition called decompensated cirrhosis.
• If you are receiving corticosteroids, corticotropin, or medications that retain salts.
• In case of elevated serum potassium levels, severe trauma, severe burns, extensive infections, or massive hemodialysis, as your situation may worsen due to changes in electrolyte balance produced after administration of the solution.
• Do not administer more than 1 liter of Hidrofundin Fisiológico per hour.

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 establish a positive analytical result for doping control.

Use of Hidrofundin Fisiológico 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.

The concomitant administration of mannitol solutions with the medications called digitalis glycosides (used to treat some heart conditions) may potentiate the possibility of digitalis toxicity associated with low blood potassium levels (hypokalemia). Hidrofundin Fisiológico also provides potassium chloride to prevent or correct possible hypokalemia, so careful control of potassium levels in the blood will be necessary.

The concomitant administration of lithium salts and sodium may cause a decrease in lithium levels, with possible inhibition of its effect. On the other hand, mannitol increases the excretion of lithium by the kidneys. Therefore, the concentration of lithium in the blood should be controlled in patients under lithium therapy who are also receiving Hidrofundin Fisiológico.

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

Due to its content of sodium chloride, it should be administered with caution in patients treated with corticosteroids (hormones used to treat certain types of inflammation) or corticotropin, as prolonged treatment may alter the balance of salts in the body.

Administer with caution in patients receiving tacrolimus, ciclosporin (medications used in organ transplants to prevent rejection that cause kidney 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.

Like all medications,this medicationmay cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

The frequency of side effects is classified into the following categories:

Common:

The most important adverse reaction is fluid and electrolyte imbalance, which can cause circulatory disturbances.In some cases, if the imbalancein salt levels (electrolyte)is severe, the acid-base balance(balance between acidic and basic substances in the body)may also be altered.

Other adverse effects described are: dry mouth or thirst, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, shortness of breath or flushing of the face.

Uncommon::

Blurred vision, dizziness, skin rash or urticaria.

Rare::

Chest pain, tachycardia, chills or fever, urinary difficulty, electrolyte imbalance, pulmonary congestion, renal insufficiency, swelling in the lower extremities or feet and thrombophlebitis (blood clot formation with inflammation of veins).

Very rarely, allergic reactions have been observed.

Similarly, reactions due to the solution or administration technique, such as fever, infection at the injection site, venous thrombosis(blood clot formation in veins)or phlebitis(inflammation of veins), extravasation(escape of liquid)and hypervolemia(abnormal increase in plasma volume)may occur.

If any side effect appears,your doctor should immediately stop administering the solution, evaluate the patient, and initiateappropriate treatment.

The doctor must continuously evaluate renal function, urine output, acid-base balance, hydration and electrolyte status (determination of serum potassium, magnesium and sodium) and blood glucose levels. Significant changes in these parameters may require additional supplements of electrolytes or other therapies to avoid potentially dangerous situations. In addition, they must assess cardiovascular status and monitor central venous pressure if there is evidence of circulatory overload.

Use in the usual conditions of asepsis in the use of intravenous perfusion solutions. Once the packaging is opened, discard the unused portion of the solution.

For more information on dosing instructions, please see section 3 of the prospectus.

In case of overdose, discontinue administration of this medication and initiate symptomatic treatment.

Overhydration can be corrected with hemodialysis or the administration of a potent diuretic (e.g. furosemide). If necessary, antagonize the cardiotoxic effects of hyperkalemia by administering intravenous calcium gluconate and sodium chloride.

In case of acidosis, administer sodium bicarbonate intravenously.
