5 Warnings and Precautions

5.2 Blood Glucose Abnormalities

(subsection revised, additions underlined)

The use of PRISMASOL and PHOXILLUM replacement solutions can affect blood glucose levels resulting in hypo- or hyper-glycemia depending upon the dextrose content of the replacement solution. Monitor   blood glucose levels regularly. Patients may require initiation of or modification of antidiabetic therapy or other corrective measures during treatment.

6 Adverse Reactions

(additions underlined)

The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use with these or other similar products and therefore may occur with use of PHOXILLUM or PRISMASOL. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

  • Metabolic acidosis
  • Hypotension
  • Acid-base disorders
  • Electrolyte  imbalanceHyperphosphatemia including calcium ionized increased (reported in PRISMASOL solutions containing calcium), hyperphosphatemia, and hypophosphatemia
  • Fluid imbalance

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

(PLLR conversion, additions underlined)

Risk Summary

PRISMASOL and PHOXILLUM are pharmacologically inactive solutions. While there are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women, appropriate administration of PRISMASOL and   PHOXILLUM solutions with monitoring of fluid, electrolyte, acid-base and glucose balance, is not expected to cause fetal harm. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with PRISMASOL and PHOXILLUM solutions.

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse outcomes. In the

U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations

Maintenance of normal acid-base balance is important for fetal well-being.

8.2 Lactation

(PLLR conversion)

Risk Summary

The components of PRISMASOL and PHOXILLUM solutions are excreted in human milk. Appropriate administration of PRISMASOL and PHOXILLUM solutions with monitoring of fluid, electrolyte, acid- base and glucose balance, is not expected to harm a nursing infant.

4 Contraindications

  • PHOXILLUM and PRISMASOL replacement solutions are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivities to these products.

5 Warnings and Precautions

Electrolyte and Volume Abnormalities (revised)

  • PHOXILLUM and PRISMASOL solutions can affect electrolytes and volume and may result in hyperkalemia or hyperphosphatemia. Monitor hemodynamic status and fluid inputs and outputs, potassium, phosphorous, other electrolytes and acid-base balance throughout the procedure. Abnormalities may be corrected by changing the formulation of replacement solution and/or dialysate, supplementation, or adjusting flow rates appropriately.
  • PHOXILLUM replacement solutions contain hydrogen phosphate, a weak acid that may increase the risk of metabolic acidosis.

6 Adverse Reactions

The following adverse reactions have been identified with other similar products and therefore, may occur with use of these products:

  • Metabolic acidosis
  • Hypotension
  • Acid-base disorders
  • Electrolyte imbalance
  • Hyperphosphatemia (for phosphate containing solutions)
  • Fluid imbalance

7 Drug Interactions

  • As with the use of other replacement solutions, blood concentrations of dialyzable drugs may be reduced by CRRT due to their removal by the hemofilter or hemodiafilter.
