Extraneal

Extraneal is a peritoneal dialysis solution containing calcium chloride, icodextrin, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, and sodium-L-lactate. It is designed for intraperitoneal use to aid in the removal of waste and excess fluids from the body. This solution is manufactured by Vantive Ab and is suitable for patients requiring peritoneal dialysis.

Extraneal is primarily used in peritoneal dialysis to help manage kidney failure by filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood. It contains icodextrin, which is known for its long-dwelling properties, making it suitable for overnight use. This solution is designed to be administered directly into the peritoneal cavity, where it works to facilitate the dialysis process.

When used as directed, Extraneal can help maintain fluid balance and remove toxins from the body. Some users may experience mild discomfort or irritation at the site of administration. It is important to follow the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure proper use and minimize any potential side effects.

Extraneal should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is important to monitor for any signs of infection or allergic reactions. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any other medical conditions or medications they are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Extraneal may interact with certain medications or medical conditions. It is important to discuss any current medications or health conditions with a healthcare professional before using this solution. Additionally, patients should be cautious when using other peritoneal dialysis solutions simultaneously to avoid overloading the system.
