Possible Side Effects
Possible adverse effects arising from the irrigation of body cavities, tissues, or indwelling catheters
and tubes are usually avoidable when proper procedures are followed. Displaced catheters or drainage tubes can lead to irrigation or infiltration of unintended structures or cavities. Excessive volume or
pressure during irrigation of closed cavities may cause undue distension or disruption of tissues. Accidental contamination from careless technique may transmit infection.
Should any adverse reaction occur, discontinue the irrigant, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate
therapeutic countermeasures and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.
Drug & Food Interactions
Additives may be incompatible. Consult with veterinarian, if available. When introducing additives, use aseptic technique, mix thoroughly and do not store.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to
administration, whenever solution container permits.
Precautions
Do not use for irrigation that may result in absorption into the blood.
Caution should be observed when a hypotonic solution is used for continuous irrigation or allowed to "dwell" inside body cavities because of possible absorption into the blood stream and the production of intravascular hemolysis and circulatory overload.
Aseptic technique is essential with the use of sterile solutions for irrigation of body cavities, wounds and urethral catheters or for wetting dressings that come in contact with body tissues.
When used as a "pour" irrigation, no part of the contents should be allowed to contact the surface below the outer protected thread area of the semi-rigid wide mouth container. The flexible container is designed for use with nonvented irrigation sets. When used for irrigation via irrigation equipment, the administration set should be attached promptly.
Unused portions should be discarded and a fresh container of appropriate size used for the start-up of each cycle or repeat procedure. For repeated irrigations of urethral catheters, a separate container should be used for each patient. Do not administer unless solution is clear, seal is intact and container is undamaged.
As directed by your vet. Dosage is dependent upon the age, weight and clinical condition of the pet, as well as laboratory determinations.
Storage Instructions
Store at 68 to 77°F
