Product Details and Features:
Concentration and Volume: Albutein 5% consists of a 5% human albumin solution, presented in a 50 mL single-dose vial for precise administration in clinical settings.
Preservative-Free: Formulated without preservatives to minimize potential adverse reactions and ensure maximum patient safety.
Sterile and Ready to Use: Manufactured under stringent standards to provide a sterile product, ready for immediate use upon opening.
Derived from Human Plasma: Carefully prepared from pooled human plasma, following rigorous screening processes for safety and purity.
Indications: Effective for restoring and maintaining blood volume where volume deficiency has been demonstrated.
Mechanism of Action:
Albutein 5% functions as a colloid osmotic agent due to its high albumin content, which increases plasma oncotic pressure. This action draws interstitial fluid into the vascular system, helping to maintain or restore blood volume and pressure. The administration of human albumin supports hemodynamic stability, facilitates renal functions, and assists in the transport of hormones, enzymes, and other molecules.
Directions for Use:
1. Administration: Administered intravenously, typically by healthcare professionals, tailored according to patient response, clinical condition, and body weight.
2. Dosage: Dosage and infusion rate should be determined by the clinical situation and patient status, usually ranging from 0.5g to 1g of albumin per kilogram of body weight.
3. Preparation: Inspect the solution before administration. Do not use if the solution is turbid or if there is a discoloration or particulate matter.
Warnings:
-
Contraindications: Not to be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to albumin, or with severe anemia or cardiac failure at normal or increased blood volume.
-
Precautions: Monitor patients for signs of circulatory overload, particularly in the elderly and in conditions where there is an increased risk of renal overload.
-
Interaction: Careful consideration is required if used concomitantly with medications that may alter hemodynamics or blood components.
-
Storage: Store in accordance with manufacturer guidelines; do not freeze. Use vials immediately upon opening.
