When should I take regidron? Instructions for use

A compulsory consultation with a doctor is necessary before using the "Regidron" preparation. The drug instruction is a product of free transfer and has only an introductory function.

Pharmacology of this drug is aimed at restoring the state of acid-base ratio, if the disturbances were caused by the loss of electrolytes with periodic vomiting and prolonged diarrhea. The composition of the drug includes glucose. It helps maintain the balance of the acid-base background, producing the absorption of citrates and salts.

For the preparation "Regidron" the instruction assumes the obligatory presence of the following properties:

- the osmolarity index of the drug is 260 mOsm / l,

- The pH level is at the level of 8.2.

The solution of the rehydron contains the following substances in the amount:

- sodium chloride - 59.9 mmol,

- sodium citrate - 11.2 mmol,

- potassium chloride - 33.5 mmol,

Glucose 55.5 mmol.

The amount of sodium cations is 71.2 mmol, chlorine is 93.5 mmol, potassium is 33.5 mmol, and citrate is contained in the amount of 11.2 mmol.

Comparing regidron with analogues, one can note its lower level of osmolarity, and this according to studies for the organism is a more favorable ratio. The drug contains less sodium, which excludes hypernatremia, but the concentration of potassium is higher, which makes it possible to restore its reserves in short lines.

Take the regidron instruction recommends in cases of violation of the water-alkaline balance, with diarrhea, diseases caused by infections, even with cholera. Assign this drug, when it becomes necessary to prevent violations of the pH of the blood, as well as water-alkaline balance, which can be due to excessive sweating, as a result of excessive physical or thermal stress.

The instructions detail how to drink regidron. To get maximum effect, the contents of one sachet are diluted in liter of boiled water, the resulting solution is cooled. Drink it in small sips. The reception of the rehydron solution is carried out after each stool. Drink it in small sips. Before use, the solution must be mixed. Within an hour you need to drink up to 10 ml from the calculation for each kilogram of body weight of the patient. When the dehydration is reduced, the dose of the drug is reduced. His reception is adjusted to 5-10 ml and taken after a liquid stool.

Medication "Regidron" in cases of complication of a painful condition with vomiting is brought additionally even to 10 ml per kg of the patient's weight and taken after another vomiting attack.

It is allowed to take the regidron during pregnancy, because it does not have any negative effect on the fetus.

Taking the drug, you should consider its interaction with various drugs. Regiodron manifests an alkaline reaction, this must be considered with the simultaneous administration of this drug with other agents, especially if their absorption is carried out at a fixed pH level.

In case of an overdose, the share of the risk of hypernatremia, as well as hyperkalemia , is high . Symptoms of their development can be confusion, arrhythmia, weakness, drowsiness and even very rarely, but it is possible to stop breathing. Reduced glomerular filtration can cause metabolic alkalosis, which is characterized by seizures, reduced pulmonary ventilation, reduced muscle tone. All the above symptoms indicate an overdose, and they also serve as a signal for the immediate termination of the reception of the rehydrone and the transition to correction of electrolyte imbalance.

Rehydron is produced in the form of portion packets of 18.9 g. One package contains up to 20 pieces.
