Macrovic Junior

Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Sodium Chloride and Macrogol 3350, the active ingredients in Macrovic Junior, are an electrolyte solution presented as an oral solution for oral use. It treats dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and diarrhea in children and adults.

GNH USA supplies Macrovic Junior as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Macrovic Junior is an oral rehydration solution used to correct fluid and electrolyte losses in several clinical situations. - Dehydration: restores body water and essential electrolytes to prevent hypovolemia. - Electrolyte imbalance: supplies sodium, potassium and bicarbonate to normalize serum levels. - Diarrhea: provides osmotic support and electrolyte replacement to reduce complications of acute watery stools.

Oral rehydration solutions are generally well tolerated, but some patients may experience mild reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: transient feeling of queasiness after ingestion. - Abdominal discomfort: mild cramping or bloating. - Flatulence: increased intestinal gas. - Altered taste: temporary metallic or salty taste. - Mild diarrhea: occasional loose stools.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypernatremia: elevated blood sodium levels. - Hyperkalemia: elevated blood potassium levels. - Severe electrolyte imbalance: abnormal serum electrolyte concentrations. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, or swelling. - Anaphylaxis: rare, life‑threatening hypersensitivity. - Severe abdominal pain: persistent or worsening pain.

Before using Macrovic Junior, consider the following safety measures. - Assess hydration status: ensure the patient truly requires rehydration therapy. - Monitor electrolytes: check serum sodium and potassium in high‑risk patients. - Renal impairment: adjust use if kidney function is compromised. - Cardiac disease: be cautious in patients with heart failure or arrhythmias. - Age considerations: use pediatric dosing guidelines when treating children. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C, in the original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

Macrovic Junior may interact with other medicines that affect fluid or electrolyte balance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent oral electrolyte solutions: risk of excessive sodium or potassium intake. - Potassium‑sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone): may cause hyperkalemia. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: increased risk of elevated potassium levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Loop diuretics (e.g., furosemide): may require electrolyte monitoring. - Antacids containing sodium bicarbonate: additive sodium load. - Certain antibiotics (e.g., aminoglycosides): monitor renal function and electrolytes.
