Intravenous solutions with potassium chloride (I.V. solutions with KCl) are sterile and nonpyrogenic solutions in water for injection. They are for administration by intravenous infusion only. See table below for summary of content and characteristics of these solutions. Table 1 COMPOSITION (g/L) Approx. Ionic Concentrations (mEq/L) Potassium Chloride in 5% Dextrose and 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP mEq Potassium Size (mL) Dextrose, Hydrous Sodium Chloride Potassium Chloride Calculated Osmolarity (mOsmol/L) pH Sodium (Na + ) Potassium (K + ) Chloride (Cl - ) Approximate Kcal/L 10 mEq 500 50 4.5 1.49 447 4.2 (3.5 to 6.5) 77 20 97 170 10 mEq 1000 50 4.5 0.745 426 4.2 (3.5 to 6.5) 77 10 87 170 20 mEq 1000 50 4.5 1.49 447 4.2 (3.5 to 6.5) 77 20 97 170 30 mEq 1000 50 4.5 2.24 467 4.2 (3.5 to 6.5) 77 30 107 170 40 mEq 1000 50 4.5 2.98 487 4.2 (3.5 to 6.5) 77 40 117 170 May contain HCl for pH adjustment. The solutions contain no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer and each is intended only for use as a single-dose injection. When smaller doses are required the unused portion should be discarded. These solutions are parenteral fluid, nutrient and/or electrolyte replenishers. Dextrose, USP is chemically designated D-glucose, monohydrate (C 6 H 12 O 6 • H 2 O), a hexose sugar freely soluble in water. It has the following structural formula: Potassium Chloride, USP is chemically designated KCl, a white granular powder freely soluble in water. Sodium Chloride, USP is chemically designated NaCl, a white crystalline powder freely soluble in water. Water for Injection, USP is chemically designated H 2 O. The flexible plastic container is fabricated from a specially formulated non-plasticized, film containing polypropylene and thermoplastic elastomers ( free flex ® bag) . Water can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap but not in amounts sufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container may leach out certain chemical components from the plastic in very small amounts; however, biological testing was supportive of the safety of the plastic container materials. Exposure to temperatures above 25°C/77°F during transport and storage will lead to minor losses in the moisture content. Higher temperatures lead to greater losses. It is unlikely that these minor losses will lead to clinically significant changes within the expiration period. Figure
