Mechanism of Action

Intraperitoneal administration of dextrose and electrolytes creates an osmotic gradient that promotes ultrafiltration and removal of uremic toxins and excess fluid across the peritoneal membrane. Low magnesium formulation reduces magnesium load in patients with hypermagnesemia or renal impairment.

Peritoneal dialysis solution; dextrose provides osmotic gradient for ultrafiltration and solute removal; low magnesium and low calcium concentrations maintain electrolyte balance.

Clinical Dosing

Intraperitoneal instillation of 2 L (or as prescribed) of 2.5% dextrose-containing peritoneal dialysis solution, typically exchanged 4 times daily. The volume and frequency are individualized based on patient's size, residual renal function, and ultrafiltration needs.

Intraperitoneal: 2.5% dextrose solution with low magnesium (0.25 mEq/L) and low calcium (2.5 mEq/L); typical exchange volume 2-2.5 L per exchange, 4-5 exchanges per day for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
