Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Isofundin is used to restore electrolyte balance and intravascular volume in conditions affecting fluid homeostasis.
  • Electrolyte replacement: restores plasma concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium in patients with deficits.
  • Fluid resuscitation: expands intravascular volume in hypovolemic states such as hemorrhage or severe dehydration.
  • Maintenance therapy: supports ongoing electrolyte balance during postoperative recovery or critical illness.

How It Works

  • Isofundin delivers magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium and chloride ions directly into the bloodstream, where they disperse into the extracellular fluid compartment. The supplied ions replenish depleted stores, correct osmotic imbalances, and participate in cellular processes such as nerve conduction, muscle contraction and acid‑base regulation, thereby re‑establishing normal fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.

Side Effects

Isofundin may be associated with infusion‑related reactions and electrolyte disturbances.

Common Side Effects

  • Infusion site pain or erythema
  • Transient increase in serum sodium
  • Transient increase in serum potassium
  • Mild nausea

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe hyperkalemia with cardiac arrhythmia
  • Anaphylactic reaction to solution components
  • Fluid overload leading to pulmonary edema

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before administering Isofundin, clinicians should observe the following precautions.
  • Assess electrolyte levels before administration: obtain baseline serum sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium.
  • Monitor cardiac rhythm during infusion: detect arrhythmias related to electrolyte shifts.
  • Use caution in patients with renal impairment: reduced clearance may exacerbate electrolyte accumulation.
  • Avoid rapid infusion in patients at risk of fluid overload: infuse over recommended time.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Isofundin can interact with other medications that affect electrolyte balance or fluid status.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use of potassium‑sparing diuretics: risk of hyperkalemia
  • Calcium channel blockers with high calcium load: risk of hypercalcemia
  • Co‑administration with hypertonic saline solutions: additive sodium overload

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Loop diuretics: may increase electrolyte loss, requiring closer monitoring
  • ACE inhibitors: can alter potassium balance, necessitating serum checks
  • Beta‑agonists: may shift potassium intracellularly, affecting serum levels

Frequently Asked Questions

Isofundin is an intravenous electrolyte solution used to replace lost electrolytes and to restore intravascular volume in patients who are dehydrated, have suffered blood loss, or require maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance during critical care.

Magnesium chloride dissociates into magnesium and chloride ions after infusion. Magnesium participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions, stabilises cell membranes, and helps regulate calcium and potassium channels, while chloride contributes to acid‑base balance and osmotic equilibrium.

The dose of Isofundin is set by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s current electrolyte levels, fluid status, underlying condition and weight. Dosage is individualized and administered under medical supervision.

Safety data for Isofundin in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and under close medical guidance.

To order Isofundin, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain if needed) and import documentation.

Isofundin contains a balanced mix of magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium and chloride, offering a broader electrolyte profile than many single‑ion solutions. This makes it suitable for comprehensive fluid resuscitation, whereas some alternatives may focus only on sodium or potassium replacement.

Isofundin should be stored at 2‑8 °C, kept refrigerated, protected from light, and must not be frozen or shaken. Before use, inspect the container for particulate matter and ensure the solution is at room temperature if required by the administration protocol.

Isofundin is administered intravenously as a sterile solution for injection. It is typically infused through a calibrated IV set over a period determined by the prescriber, with infusion rates adjusted according to the patient’s clinical response and electrolyte monitoring.

Serious risks include severe hyperkalemia or hypernatremia that can cause cardiac arrhythmias, anaphylactic reactions to the solution components, and fluid overload leading to pulmonary edema. Continuous monitoring of cardiac rhythm and serum electrolytes is essential.

Isofundin should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components, in those with uncontrolled hyperkalemia, severe renal failure without appropriate monitoring, or in individuals where rapid fluid expansion could precipitate heart failure.
