icodextrin sodium chloride sodium lactate calcium chloride magnesium chloride - Generic Medications

EXTRANEAL (icodextrin) Peritoneal Dialysis Solution is a solution intended for intraperitoneal administration that contains the colloid osmotic agent icodextrin. Icodextrin is a cornstarch-derived, water-soluble glucose polymer linked by alpha (1-4) and less than 10% alpha (1-6) glucosidic bonds with a weight-average molecular weight between 13,000 and 19,000 Daltons and a number average molecular weight between 5,000 and 6,500 Daltons. The representative structural formula of icodextrin is: Each 100 mL of EXTRANEAL contains: Icodextrin 7.5 g Sodium Chloride, USP 535 mg Sodium Lactate 448 mg Calcium Chloride, USP 25.7 mg Magnesium Chloride, USP 5.08 mg Electrolyte content per liter: Sodium 132 mEq/L Calcium 3.5 mEq/L Magnesium 0.5 mEq/L Chloride 96 mEq/L Lactate 40 mEq/L Water for Injection, USP qs HCl/NaOH may have been used to adjust pH. EXTRANEAL contains no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents. Calculated osmolarity: 282-286 mOsm/L; pH=5.0-6.0 EXTRANEAL is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, clear solution packaged in AMBU-FLEX II and ULTRABAG containers. The container systems are composed of polyvinyl chloride. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g., di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), up to 5 parts per million; however, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.
