Some restricted information has been hidden. Sign in to see this information

Instructions for use

Must be given as slow IV infusion.

Never administer by IM or SC route.

Use a filter for IV line because of the risk of crystal formation with mannitol.

Precautions for Use

Contraindicated in patients with abnormal capillary fragility, pulmonary congestion or pulmonary oedema, intracranial bleeding, congestive heart failure and renal failure unless a test dose has produced a diuretic response.

Remark

Mannitol is a saturated solution, which may occasionally crystallise:

  • Do not administer mannitol if the solution contains crystals.
  • Thoroughly check the solution for crystals immediately before use.
  • If necessary, redissolve the crystals by heating the solution to 60°C in a water bath, shaking regularly until the crystals are redissolved.
  • Keep the bottle upright in water while heating. Do not immerse in water (cover the top).
  • Do not heat in microwave.
  • Allow the solution to cool to room temperature before administering.

In case of local purchase, flexible bags are preferred to semi-rigid bottles. Contact your OC pharmacist for validation and approval.

Storage

  • Bellow 25ºC.
  • Do not refrigerate.
  • Do not freeze.
  • After opening, use the product immediately.

Caution!

It is important to pay attention to stack-piling, handling and internal transport conditions to prevent compression of the secondary packaging which could lead to micro-leakage of the bottle/bag (risk of microbial contamination).
