EXTRANEAL 450 mg/100mL is primarily used in peritoneal dialysis to help remove excess fluid and waste products from the body. The solution contains icodextrin, which is a type of sugar that helps to draw out fluid from the bloodstream into the peritoneal cavity. This process is essential for individuals who require peritoneal dialysis as a form of renal replacement therapy. The solution also contains electrolytes like sodium, calcium, and magnesium to help maintain the body's electrolyte balance.

When used as directed, EXTRANEAL 450 mg/100mL can help improve fluid removal and electrolyte balance in individuals undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Some users may experience common effects such as abdominal fullness or discomfort during the dialysis process. These effects are generally temporary and subside once the dialysis session is completed.

It is important to use EXTRANEAL 450 mg/100mL only under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The solution should be stored in a cool, dry place and protected from light. Ensure that the solution is clear and free from particles before use. Do not use if the solution appears cloudy or contains visible particles. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional for proper administration and handling.

EXTRANEAL 450 mg/100mL may interact with certain medications or substances. It is important to inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
