Description
Chetasorb 10% Solution for Infusions 500 ml
Ingredients
This solution contains hydroxyethyl starch and sodium chloride as active ingredients.
Mechanism of Action
The hydroxyethyl starch in Chetasorb 10% Solution works by expanding intravascular volume, leading to increased blood flow and improved tissue perfusion. Sodium chloride helps maintain electrolyte balance and osmotic pressure.
Pharmacological Properties
Chetasorb 10% Solution acts as a plasma volume expander due to the colloid properties of hydroxyethyl starch. It helps to increase circulating blood volume and improve hemodynamic parameters.
Indications for Use
This solution is indicated for intravascular volume expansion in conditions such as hypovolemia, shock, and other situations requiring rapid fluid resuscitation.
Contraindications
Contraindications: Chetasorb 10% Solution should not be used in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to hydroxyethyl starch or sodium chloride. It is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment or congestive heart failure.
