Kalii Chloridum/Glucosum B. Braun (Glucose, Anhydrous, Potassium Chloride)

Potassium chloride and glucose, the active ingredient in Kalii Chloridum/Glucosum B. Braun, is an electrolyte solution presented as an injection solution for intravenous use. It treats hypokalemia and provides fluid and electrolyte replacement in hospitalized patients. It is also employed in perioperative fluid management and to prevent hypoglycemia during intravenous therapy. The combination supplies potassium ions to correct low serum potassium levels while glucose offers an energy source and contributes to osmotic balance. It is manufactured under EU GMP standards for clinical use.

GNH India supplies Kalii Chloridum/Glucosum B. Braun as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals worldwide.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Kalii Chloridum/Glucosum B. Braun is used to manage electrolyte and fluid disorders in clinical settings.

  • Hypokalemia: restores serum potassium levels to prevent cardiac and muscular complications.
  • Fluid and electrolyte replacement: supplies potassium and glucose to correct deficits during dehydration or loss.
  • Perioperative fluid management: maintains electrolyte balance and provides energy during surgery.
  • Prevention of hypoglycemia: delivers glucose intravenously to avoid low blood sugar in patients unable to eat.

How It Works

  • The injection provides potassium chloride, which dissociates to release potassium ions that raise extracellular potassium concentration and correct hypokalemia. Glucose anhydrous serves as an immediate energy substrate, stimulates insulin release, and contributes to osmotic balance, supporting cellular metabolism and fluid distribution during intravenous therapy.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain: mild discomfort at the infusion site.
  • Phlebitis: inflammation of the vein used for administration.
  • Mild hyperkalemia: slight elevation of serum potassium without symptoms.
  • Mild hyperglycemia: modest increase in blood glucose levels.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe hyperkalemia with cardiac arrhythmia: potentially life‑threatening heart rhythm disturbances.
  • Anaphylactic reaction: sudden severe allergic response requiring emergency treatment.
  • Severe hyperglycemia with ketoacidosis: dangerous rise in blood sugar leading to metabolic acidosis.
  • Electrolyte imbalance causing muscle weakness or cardiac issues: significant disturbances in potassium or other electrolytes.

Precautions & Warnings

Precautions should be observed when using this intravenous solution.

  • Dose adjustment: adjust infusion rate in patients with renal impairment.
  • Cardiac monitoring: monitor ECG for arrhythmias during therapy.
  • Blood glucose monitoring: check glucose levels regularly.
  • Electrolyte monitoring: assess serum potassium before and during infusion.
  • Compatibility: ensure solution is compatible with other IV fluids before mixing.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Potential drug interactions must be considered.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • ACE inhibitors: may increase potassium levels leading to hyperkalemia.
  • Potassium‑sparing diuretics: risk of severe hyperkalemia.
  • Insulin therapy: may cause rapid intracellular shift of potassium.
  • Sodium bicarbonate: can cause potassium shifts and affect serum levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Beta‑blockers: may potentiate hyperkalemia.
  • Digitalis: increased risk of arrhythmia with elevated potassium.
  • IV glucose with insulin: monitor glucose levels closely to avoid hypoglycemia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kalii Chloridum/Glucosum B. Braun is an intravenous electrolyte solution used to correct low blood potassium (hypokalemia), replace lost fluids and electrolytes, support peri‑operative fluid balance, and prevent hypoglycemia in patients who cannot take oral nutrition.

The potassium chloride component releases potassium ions that raise extracellular potassium concentrations, correcting hypokalemia. Glucose anhydrous provides an immediate energy source, stimulates insulin release, and contributes to osmotic balance, helping maintain fluid distribution and cellular metabolism during IV therapy.

The dose is individualized and set by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s serum potassium, glucose levels, renal function, and overall clinical condition. The healthcare professional determines the infusion rate, concentration, and duration of therapy.

Safety data for use during pregnancy and lactation are limited. The product should only be used when the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by the treating physician.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies 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.

Unlike standalone potassium chloride injections, this formulation combines potassium with glucose, offering both electrolyte correction and an energy source in a single bag. Compared with separate dextrose solutions, it reduces the need for multiple infusions and simplifies fluid management, though clinicians must still monitor both potassium and glucose levels closely.

The product must be stored at 2‑8 °C, protected from light, and kept in its original container. Do not freeze or shake the vial. Before use, inspect for particulate matter and ensure the solution is at room temperature if required for administration.

It is administered intravenously, typically by slow infusion through a peripheral or central line. The solution may be diluted with compatible IV fluids according to the prescriber’s instructions, and infusion rates are adjusted based on the patient’s electrolyte and glucose monitoring results.

The most serious risks include severe hyperkalemia leading to cardiac arrhythmias, anaphylactic reactions, severe hyperglycemia with possible ketoacidosis, and significant electrolyte imbalances that can cause muscle weakness or cardiac complications. Immediate medical attention is required if any of these occur.

Patients with known hyperkalemia, severe renal failure, or a documented hypersensitivity to potassium chloride, glucose, or any excipients in the formulation should not receive this injection. Contraindications must be confirmed by the prescribing clinician before therapy.
