Description
Overview of the medicine
Renisol-1-Suspension is an oral electrolyte and mineral supplement designed to restore fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. It helps in preventing and treating dehydration caused by various conditions such as diarrhea, vomiting, or excessive sweating. It also provides essential minerals to support overall body functions.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Adults: 100-200 ml after each loose stool or episode of vomiting, or as directed by physician. Maximum 1000-2000 ml per day.
Elderly
Elderly: Similar to adult dosage, adjust based on hydration status and renal function. Consult physician.
Renal_impairment
Renal impairment: Use with caution. Dosage adjustment may be required. Consult physician.
How to Take
Shake the bottle well before each use. Administer orally using a measuring cup or spoon provided. Can be taken with or without food. Ensure adequate fluid intake alongside.
Mechanism of Action
The electrolytes (e.g., sodium, potassium, chloride) are absorbed in the intestine and help maintain osmotic balance, fluid volume, and nerve and muscle function. Glucose aids in the absorption of sodium and water. Essential minerals contribute to various metabolic processes.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Within 30-60 minutes.
Excretion
Primarily via the kidneys, with some excretion through sweat and feces.
Half life
Highly variable depending on body fluid status and renal function.
Absorption
Electrolytes and water are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Glucose enhances the absorption of sodium and water.
Metabolism
Electrolytes are not metabolized but are involved in various metabolic processes. Glucose is metabolized for energy.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the suspension.
- Severe renal failure (anuria, oliguria) or acute renal impairment without dialysis.
- Severe dehydration requiring intravenous fluid replacement.
- Glucose malabsorption.
Drug Interactions
Digoxin
Electrolyte imbalance (especially hypokalemia) may increase digoxin toxicity.
Corticosteroids
May increase sodium retention.
ACE inhibitors/ARBs
Increased risk of hyperkalemia, especially in renal impairment.
Diuretics (especially potassium-sparing)
May alter electrolyte levels; monitor closely.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include hypernatremia, hyperkalemia, hypervolemia, edema, and cardiac arrhythmias. Management involves discontinuing the product, symptomatic treatment, and supportive measures, including monitoring of electrolyte levels and fluid status.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe during pregnancy and lactation when used as directed to treat or prevent dehydration. Consult a healthcare professional before use.
