Regidron bio sachet n5

Indications for use of the drug Regidron

- restoration of water-electrolyte balance, correction of acidosis in acute diarrhea (including cholera), with thermal lesions associated with impaired water-electrolyte metabolism; for the purpose of prophylaxis - heat and physical loads, leading to intense perspiration;

- rehydration oral therapy for acute diarrhea with mild (weight loss is 3-5%) or medium (weight loss 6-10%) degree of dehydration.

Mechanism of action

The drug for the correction of energy and electrolyte balance.

Restores the water-electrolyte balance, disturbed by dehydration; corrects acidosis.

The solution osmolality Rehydron makes 260 mosm / l, pH - 8.2.

Compared to standard WHO oral rehydration solutions recommended by osmolality Rehydron slightly lower (the effectiveness of solutions for rehydration with reduced osmolality is well proven), the sodium concentration is also lower (to prevent the development of hypernatremia), and the potassium content is higher (for more rapid recovery of potassium levels).

Pharmacokinetics

Data on the pharmacokinetics of the drug Regidron are missing.

Dosage and administration

One bag is dissolved in 1 l of water, the prepared solution is taken orally.If there is no certainty that the water is potable, it should be boiled and cooled before preparing the solution. The prepared solution should be stored in a cool place at a temperature of 2 ° to 8 ° C and used for 24 hours. No other components should be added to the solution in order not to disturb the effect of the preparation.

Before starting treatment, the patient should be weighed to assess the weight loss and the degree of dehydration.

Patient feeding or breastfeeding should not be interrupted during oral rehydration therapy or should be continued immediately after rehydration. It is recommended to avoid foods rich in fats and simple carbohydrates.

For prevent dehydration reception Rehydron should begin as soon as diarrhea begins. Usually the drug is used no more than 3-4 days, the treatment is terminated with the end of diarrhea.

In case of nausea or vomiting, it is desirable to give the solution chilled in small, repeated doses. You can also use a nasogastric tube under the supervision of a physician.

For rehydration Regidron take within the first 6-10 hours in an amount that is twice the loss of body weight caused by diarrhea. For example, if the weight loss is 400 g, the amount Rehydron makes 800 g or 8.0 dl. The use of other fluids is not required during this phase of treatment.

Side effect

At observance of the recommended doses Rehydron side effects are unlikely.Allergic reactions are potentially possible.

Contraindications to the use of the drug REGIDRON

- renal dysfunction;

- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus;

- non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus;

- unconsciousness;

- intestinal obstruction;

- hypersensitivity to the drug.

Use of the drug REGIDRON during pregnancy and lactation

In recommended doses Regidron can be prescribed during pregnancy and lactation.

Application for violations of kidney function

The drug is contraindicated in violation of renal function.

Special notes

Severe dehydration (loss of body weight> 10%, anuria) should be corrected with the use of rehydration agents for IV administration, after which you can prescribe Regidron.

Do not exceed the recommended dose of the drug, if the need for additional administration of electrolytes is not confirmed by laboratory tests.

Drug bag Regidron dissolve in 1 liter of water. If an overly concentrated solution is given in the recommended volume, the patient may develop hypernatremia.

Sugar cannot be added to the solution. Food can be given immediately after rehydration. If you vomit, wait 10 minutes and let the solution drink slowly, in small sips. Patients whose dehydration has developed against the background of renal failure, diabetes or other chronic diseases in which the acid-base, electrolyte or carbohydrate balance is disturbed, should be carefully monitored during drug therapy. Regidron.

When using the drug Regidron consultation of the doctor is required in the following cases: slowing down of speech, rapid fatigue, drowsiness, the patient does not answer questions, increased body temperature over 39 ° C, cessation of urine, the appearance of liquid bloody stools, diarrhea lasting more than 5 days, the sudden cessation of diarrhea and the appearance of strong pain if home treatment is ineffective and impossible.

Influence on ability to drive motor transport and control mechanisms

Regidron does not affect the ability to drive vehicles and management mechanisms.

Overdosage

Symptoms: with the introduction of the solution Rehydron in large volume or excessive concentration, hypernatraemia is possible (weakness, nervous-muscular arousal, drowsiness, confusion, coma, and sometimes even respiratory arrest); in patients with impaired renal function, the development of metabolic alkalosis is possible, which is manifested in decreased ventilation of the lungs, nervous-muscular arousal, and tetanic convulsions.

Treatment: in case of a significant overdose, medical supervision is required. Correction of the balance of electrolytes and fluids should be carried out on the basis of laboratory data.

Drug interaction

Drug interactions Regidron not learned.

The solution of the drug has a weak alkaline reaction, so it can affect the effectiveness of drugs, the absorption of which depends on the pH of the intestinal contents.

Diarrhea itself can alter the absorption of many drugs that are absorbed in the small or large intestine, or drugs that are metabolized by intrahepatic circulation.

Terms and conditions of storage

The drug should be stored at room temperature (15 ° to 25 ° C) out of the reach of children.
