Klean-Prep

Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, the active ingredient in Klean-Prep, is an oral electrolyte and osmotic agent presented as a powder for oral reconstitution for oral use. It assists in restoring electrolyte balance and facilitating bowel cleansing in adults undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. GNH USA supplies Klean-Prep as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Klean-Prep, containing an electrolyte and osmotic agent blend, is employed in gastrointestinal and electrolyte management. - Dehydration: helps replenish sodium, potassium and chloride losses in patients with fluid depletion. - Bowel preparation: provides an osmotic effect that promotes intestinal cleansing before colonoscopy or surgery. - Acid‑base disorders: contributes to neutralising gastric acidity in conditions requiring alkalinisation.

Klean-Prep may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate feeling of stomach upset. - Abdominal cramping: transient discomfort during bowel preparation. - Diarrhoea: increased loose stools due to osmotic activity. - Electrolyte imbalance: mild shifts in sodium or potassium levels. - Headache: occasional tension‑type headache.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe dehydration: excessive fluid loss requiring medical attention. - Hypernatremia: markedly elevated blood sodium concentration. - Hypokalemia: low potassium levels that may cause cardiac arrhythmia. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching or swelling of the face, lips or tongue. - Metabolic acidosis: rare disturbance of blood pH.

Before using Klean-Prep, consider the following safety measures. - Renal impairment: assess kidney function to avoid electrolyte overload. - Cardiac disease: monitor patients with heart failure for fluid shifts. - Diabetes: watch for changes in blood glucose due to altered fluid balance. - Pediatric use: limit to older children under medical supervision. - Concomitant diuretics: adjust electrolyte monitoring when used together. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in the original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

Klean-Prep can interact with other medicines that affect fluid and electrolyte status.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Loop diuretics: may cause severe electrolyte depletion. - ACE inhibitors: increased risk of hyperkalemia. - Lithium: altered renal clearance can raise lithium levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - NSAIDs: may impair renal function and affect electrolyte balance. - Antacids containing sodium: risk of excessive sodium load. - Antihypertensives: potential for blood pressure changes due to fluid shifts.
