Indications & Clinical Uses

Kalium‑Natrium‑Glucose Braun is used in clinical situations that require intravenous fluid, electrolyte and glucose support.

  • Fluid and electrolyte replacement: restores plasma volume and corrects deficits of potassium and sodium.
  • Hypoglycemia: provides rapid glucose to raise blood sugar in acute low‑glucose states.
  • Maintenance of plasma volume: sustains intravascular volume during surgery or trauma.

How It Works

  • The solution delivers potassium chloride, sodium chloride and anhydrous glucose directly into the bloodstream. Sodium and potassium ions replenish extracellular fluid electrolytes, while glucose supplies immediate metabolic energy and stimulates insulin release, facilitating cellular uptake of potassium. The combined osmotic effect expands intravascular volume, helping to correct fluid deficits and maintain hemodynamic stability.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain or erythema.
  • Mild hyperkalemia.
  • Mild hypernatremia.
  • Transient hyperglycemia.
  • Phlebitis.
  • Minor electrolyte imbalance.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe hyperkalemia leading to cardiac arrhythmia.
  • Severe hypernatremia causing neurological symptoms.
  • Anaphylactic or severe hypersensitivity reaction.
  • Volume overload with pulmonary edema.
  • Severe hypoglycemia if glucose is not required.
  • Cardiac arrest due to electrolyte disturbances.

Precautions & Warnings

Before administration, evaluate the patient's electrolyte status and cardiac function.

  • Assess serum potassium and sodium levels: adjust infusion rate based on results.
  • Monitor cardiac rhythm: especially in patients with known arrhythmias.
  • Adjust dosage in renal impairment: reduced clearance may increase electrolyte levels.
  • Avoid rapid infusion in heart‑failure patients: risk of volume overload.
  • Use aseptic technique: prevent contamination of the IV line.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze.

Avoid Interactions

Kalium‑Natrium‑Glucose Braun may interact with several medications.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent potassium‑sparing diuretics: increased risk of hyperkalemia.
  • Co‑administration with hypertonic saline: additive electrolyte overload.
  • Simultaneous high‑dose insulin therapy: rapid intracellular potassium shift.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Loop diuretics: may cause electrolyte depletion requiring monitoring.
  • ACE inhibitors or ARBs: can raise potassium levels.
  • Beta‑blockers: may mask hypoglycemia symptoms, requiring close observation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kalium‑Natrium‑Glucose Braun is an intravenous solution that provides potassium chloride, sodium chloride and glucose. It is used to replace lost fluids and electrolytes, treat acute hypoglycemia, and maintain plasma volume during surgery, trauma or critical illness.

The sodium and potassium salts replenish extracellular electrolytes, while the glucose supplies immediate energy and stimulates insulin release, which helps shift potassium into cells. Together they restore fluid balance, correct electrolyte disturbances and provide metabolic support.

The prescribed dose is determined by the treating physician based on the patient’s clinical condition, electrolyte levels, and fluid requirements. Dosage is individualized and administered intravenously under medical supervision.

Safety data for use in pregnancy or lactation are limited. The product should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with 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.

Unlike simple saline solutions, Kalium‑Natrium‑Glucose Braun contains both potassium and sodium salts plus glucose, offering combined electrolyte replacement and energy provision. This makes it suitable for situations where both electrolyte balance and rapid glucose supplementation are required, whereas standard saline lacks potassium and glucose.

The product should be stored at 2‑8 °C, protected from light, and must not be frozen or shaken. Keep the vial in its original packaging until use and discard any solution that appears discolored or contains particles.

It is administered intravenously by a qualified healthcare professional. The solution is typically infused through a peripheral or central venous line, with the rate adjusted according to the patient’s electrolyte status, fluid needs and clinical response.

Serious risks include severe hyperkalemia or hypernatremia, which can cause cardiac arrhythmias, volume overload leading to pulmonary edema, and rare anaphylactic reactions. Continuous monitoring of electrolytes and cardiac function is essential during infusion.

Patients with known hypersensitivity to any component, severe renal impairment without dose adjustment, uncontrolled hyperkalemia or hypernatremia, and those at high risk of fluid overload (e.g., severe heart failure) should not receive this product unless a physician determines it is absolutely necessary.
