The content of sodium chloride in the finished solution is slightly lower than that of similar agents, which helps to reduce osmolarity preparation and better assimilation of salts, and the concentration of potassium chloride is higher, which helps to remove the symptoms of hypernatremia.

Glucose in the form of dextrose promotes better absorption of salts of electrolytes.

Overdose

If an excessively large amount of solution is taken, or if an excessively concentrated solution is used, the probability of developing hypernatremia, manifestations of which are drowsiness, weakness, neuromuscular excitation, confusion, coma, stopping breathing.

In patients with decreased renal function, there is a risk of developing metabolic alkalosis (neuromuscular excitation, tetanic convulsions, reduced ventilation) and hyperkalemia.

In case of a severe overdose with marked signs of metabolic alkalosis or hypernatremia, stop taking the drug. Further treatment is prescribed based on the results of laboratory tests.

special instructions

Children should use other solutions with a lower sodium content and osmolarity.

Given the composition of the drug, caution should be exercised in patients with diabetes mellitus, a violation liver or kidney function, as well as in patients who follow a diet low in salt (sodium and / or potassium).

In patients with diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency and some other chronic diseases, diarrhea can cause a significant disruption of the balance of fluid or glucose. In this regard, the treatment of diarrhea in such patients may require laboratory monitoring and hospitalization. If the patient's need for additional electrolyte administration is not confirmed by laboratory tests, the recommended dose of the drug should not be exceeded.

Severe dehydration (loss of body weight> 10%, discontinuation of urine output) should be treated with iv reconstitution preparations, after which it is allowed to begin using the Regidron solution.

If necessary, / in the administration of drugs or with severe dehydration or severe vomiting, with a decrease or discontinuation of urine output, use Regidron with caution.

• the temperature rises above 39 ° C;
• bloody stools;
• incessant vomiting;
• Diarrhea lasts more than 2 days;
• severe pain in the abdomen.

With diarrhea that develops with cholera and a number of other serious intestinal infections, the use of the Regidron solution to compensate for the loss of electrolytes may not be enough.

Persons with renal insufficiency or a diet low in potassium should take into account that the preparation contains potassium.

Interaction with other drugs

Interaction with other drugs has not been studied.

The solution of the preparation has a slightly alkaline reaction, so it can affect the drugs, the absorption of which depends on the pH of the contents of the intestine.

Diarrhea itself can alter the absorption of many drugs that are absorbed in a thin or the large intestine, or drugs in the metabolism of which there is intestinal hepatic circulation

The classical composition of the "home" mixture is as follows: liter of roomed boiled water, 20-30 g. sugar, 3 g. table salt, 2 g. soda. After three years, half the water is replaced with a decoction of carrots and raisins (replenish the balance of potassium).

Almost the same prescription is given by Dr. Komarovsky in his reference book "Emergency Care":

• boiled water - liter;
• baking soda - 1 tsp;
• table salt - 1 tsp;
• sugar-2 tsp

The first day after the poisoning should only vypaivat baby "Regidron" and give another liquid. When vomiting stops, the child can be offered to eat crackers, drink a diluted apple juice or compote of dried fruits. Later it is worth preparing a rice broth, a liquid porridge on the water, to offer half a banana. Do not need the first 5-7 days after the illness to give sharp, fatty, smoked dishes, dairy products. If you feel better, you need a doctor's control in two days.
