Osmosol IV Infusion 20%

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% increases urinary output by inhibiting tubular reabsorption of water and electrolytes. It raises the osmotic pressure of the plasma allowing water to be drawn out of body tissues.

Chemically, mannitol is an alcohol and a sugar, or a polyol; it is similar to xylitol or sorbitol. However, mannitol has a tendency to lose a hydrogen ion in aqueous solutions, which causes the solution to become acidic. For this reason, it is not uncommon to add a substance to adjust its pH, such as sodium bicarbonate. Osmosol IV Infusion 20% is commonly used to increase urine production (diuretic). It is also used to treat or prevent medical conditions that are caused by an increase in body fluids/water (e.g., cerebral edema, glaucoma, kidney failure). Osmosol IV Infusion 20% is frequently given along with other diuretics (e.g., furosemide, chlorothiazide) and/or IV fluid replacement.

Inhaled mannitol has the possibility to cause bronchospasm and hemoptysis; the occurrence of either should lead to discontinuation of inhaled mannitol.

Uses

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% is principally used by IV infusion as an osmotic diuretic to preserve renal function in acute renal failure and to reduce raised intracranial and intraocular pressure. Osmosol IV Infusion 20% is also used as an irrigating solution to prevent hemolysis and hemoglobin buildup during transurethral prostatic resection. It is useful in the management of acute drug poisoning where a route of elimination is through kidney. Besides these, it is also used in symptomatic relief of edema, reperfusion injury, termination of pregnancy, and bowel preparation. So, Osmosol IV Infusion 20% is used for-

Renal insufficiency, Reperfusion injury, Raised intracranial pressure, Bladder irrigation, Raised intraocular presure, Bowel preparation, Edematous status, As a prophylactic in renal failure, Management of poisoning, Termination of Pregnancy

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Acute Renal Failure (ARF), Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Edema of the cerebrum, Increased Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP), Bladder irrigation therapy

How Osmosol IV Infusion 20% works

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% is an osmotic diuretic that is metabolically inert in humans and occurs naturally, as a sugar or sugar alcohol, in fruits and vegetables. Osmosol IV Infusion 20% elevates blood plasma osmolality, resulting in enhanced flow of water from tissues, including the brain and cerebrospinal fluid, into interstitial fluid and plasma. As a result, cerebral edema, elevated intracranial pressure, and cerebrospinal fluid volume and pressure may be reduced. As a diurectic mannitol induces diuresis because it is not reabsorbed in the renal tubule, thereby increasing the osmolality of the glomerular filtrate, facilitating excretion of water, and inhibiting the renal tubular reabsorption of sodium, chloride, and other solutes. Osmosol IV Infusion 20% promotes the urinary excretion of toxic materials and protects against nephrotoxicity by preventing the concentration of toxic substances in the tubular fluid. As an Antiglaucoma agent mannitol levates blood plasma osmolarity, resulting in enhanced flow of water from the eye into plasma and a consequent reduction in intraocular pressure. As a renal function diagnostic aid mannitol is freely filtered by the glomeruli with less than 10% tubular reabsorption. Therefore, its urinary excretion rate may serve as a measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

The exact mechanism of action of inhaled mannitol in the symptomatic maintenance treatment of cystic fibrosis remains unclear. It is hypothesized that mannitol produces an osmotic gradient across the airway epithelium that draws fluid into the extracellular space and alters the properties of the airway surface mucus layer, allowing easier mucociliary clearance.

Dosage

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% dosage

The adult dose of Osmosol IV Infusion 20% ranges from 50 to 100 gm by IV infusion. The rate of administration is usually adjusted to maintain a urine flow of at least 30 to 50 ml/hr. Total dosage, concentration and the rate of administration depends on fluid requirement, urinary output and the severity of the condition being treated

Renal insufficiency-

  • Adults: 50 to 100 g of Osmosol IV Infusion 20% administered at a rate adjusted to maintain a urine flow of at least 30 to 50 ml/hr.
  • Children: 2 gm/kg or 60 gm/m2of body surface area administered over a period of 2 to 6 hrs.

Cerebral edema, elevated intracranial pressure, elevated intraocular pressure, Glaucoma-

  • Adults: 1.5 to 2 gm/kgadministered over a period of 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Children: 1 to 2 gm/kg body wt. or 30 to 60 gm/m2 of body surface area administered over a period of 30 to 60 mins.

Adjunctive therapy for removal of toxic substances-

  • Adults: 50 to 200 g of Osmosol IV Infusion 20% administered at a rate adjust to maintain a urine flow of at least 100 to 500 ml/hr.
  • Children: 2 gm/kg or 60 gm/m2of body surface area

For termination of pregnancy 50 gm of Osmosol IV Infusion 20% (250 ml of Osmosol IV Infusion 20%) is instilled into the amniotic cavity which induces abortion in a high proportion of pregnancies.

Volume of Distribution

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% administered intravenously has a volume of distribution of 34.3 L.

Elimination Route

Approximately 7% of ingested mannitol is absorbed during gastrointestinal perfusion in uremic patients.

Inhalation of 635 mg of mannitol powder yields a plasma Cmax of 13.71 μg/mL in 1.5 hours (Tmax) and a mean systemic AUC of 73.15 μg*h/mL.

Half Life

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% has an elimination half-life of 4.7 hours following oral administration; the mean terminal elimination half-life is similar regardless of administration route (oral, inhalation, and intravenous.

Clearance

Intravenous administration of mannitol yields a total clearance of 5.1 L/hr and renal clearance of 4.4 L/hr.

Elimination Route

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine. Following oral inhalation of 635 mg of mannitol in healthy volunteers, 55% of the total dose was recovered unchanged in the urine; following oral or intravenous administration of 500 mg, the corresponding values were 54 and 87%, respectively.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Safety of Osmosol IV Infusion 20% intravenous infusion in pregnancy has not been established yet. No information is available on the excretion of mannitol in breast milk and should be administered after careful consideration of risk-benefit ratio.

Contraindication

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% intravenous infusion is contraindicated in patients with pulmonary edema or congestive heart failure. It is also contraindicated during inadequate urine flow, dehydration or acidosis, intracranial bleeding and in patients with renal failure unless a test dose has produced a diuretic response

Storage Condition

Osmosol IV Infusion 20% should be stored at a temperature of 20° to 30°. Exposure to lower temperatures may cause deposition of crystals, which should be dissolved by warming the bottle in hot water for about 30 minutes. Cool to body temperature before using. If all crystals can not be dissolved, the solution should not be used. The content of open containers should be used promptly. Unused contents should be discarded.
