Efficacy & effects
Effect of prolonging peritoneal dialysis treatment period for chronic kidney failure patients
View approved original textHide original text
This medication is used to extend the peritoneal dialysis treatment period for chronic kidney failure patients who have difficulty with ultrafiltration using glucose solutions. During Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) or Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD), this medication is administered once daily as a substitute for glucose dialysis solutions to enhance treatment outcomes. It helps improve the convenience and effectiveness of treatment for patients.
How it is given
Adult administration
For intraperitoneal use only and not for intravenous use. It is a single-dose product. Replace existing peritoneal dialysis fluid once daily during a 24-hour period. The administered dose should not typically exceed 2.0L for adult patients, and 1.5L should be used in case of abdominal distension. The recommended dwell time is between 6-12 hours for CAPD and 14-16 hours for APD. The peritoneal dialysis process should be conducted aseptically.

Precautions
This medication should not be used in patients who are allergic to starch polymers or icodextrin. Patients with hypersensitivity to maltose or isomaltose should also not use this medication. Patients with poor condition after abdominal surgery or problems with peritoneal function, patients with glycogen storage disease, diaphragm injury, etc., should not be administered this medication. Lactate metabolism patients, severe lactic acidosis patients, and patients with uremia-related hemorrhagic diathesis are also excluded from administration. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, and patients with acute kidney failure should use this medication with caution, and patients with specific peritoneal and abdominal diseases also require attention. This medication is used only for peritoneal dialysis, and fluid balance must be accurately recorded and weight changes carefully monitored. In particular, the patient's condition must be meticulously monitored to avoid excess or deficiency of fluid. During dialysis, protein, amino acids, and vitamins may be lost, so supplementation therapy should be performed according to the physician's prescription if necessary. Diabetic patients who require blood sugar control must regularly check their blood sugar levels and adjust their insulin doses, and they should use a method that does not interact with maltose when measuring blood sugar. Various adverse reactions such as peritonitis, infections, skin rashes, blood pressure changes, gastrointestinal symptoms, and neurological abnormalities may occur, so symptoms should be immediately reported to medical personnel. This medication may interact with other drugs, so if other medications are being taken, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid using this medication unless under special circumstances, and its use in pediatric patients is not recommended. In case of overdose, medical personnel should be notified immediately and appropriate measures should be taken, and this medication must always be used under the supervision of a physician. When exchanging peritoneal dialysis fluid, aseptic technique must be strictly adhered to, and the solution must be appropriately warmed before use; discolored or damaged solutions should not be used. Keep out of reach of children and discard any leftover solutions after use.
