MARILACT

Do not use Marilact in people with the following conditions:

• Known hypersensitivity: Marilact solution should not be used in individuals who have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of its components. This could include lactate, sodium, potassium, calcium, or chloride. If you have a history of allergic reactions to similar solutions, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider.
• Hyperkalemia: Marilact solution contains potassium, and its use may not be appropriate in individuals with high levels of potassium in their blood, a condition known as hyperkalemia. Your healthcare provider will consider your potassium levels and overall health before deciding if Marilact solution is suitable for you.
• Metabolic or respiratory alkalosis: Marilact solution contains lactate, which can be converted to bicarbonate in the body. It may not be recommended in individuals with metabolic or respiratory alkalosis, as it could potentially worsen these conditions. Your healthcare provider will assess your acid-base balance before deciding if Marilact solution is appropriate.
• Severe renal impairment: Marilact solution should be used with caution in individuals with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease, as it may not be adequately excreted from the body. Your healthcare provider will assess your kidney function and determine if alternative solutions are more suitable.
• Congestive heart failure: Marilact solution should be used cautiously in individuals with congestive heart failure, as it contains sodium and may contribute to fluid overload. Your healthcare provider will carefully monitor your fluid balance and make adjustments as necessary.

Marilact may have the following side effects:

• Local reactions: There may be some discomfort or pain at the site of injection when Marilact solution is administered intravenously. This can include redness, swelling, or irritation at the injection site.
• Electrolyte imbalances: Marilact solution contains electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride. In some cases, excessive or rapid administration of the solution can lead to electrolyte imbalances, such as hypernatremia (high sodium levels) or hyperkalemia (high potassium levels). This is more likely to occur in individuals with underlying kidney or heart conditions.
• Fluid overload: Marilact solution, when given in large volumes or at a rapid rate, can potentially lead to fluid overload. This is more common in individuals with congestive heart failure or compromised kidney function. Symptoms of fluid overload may include swelling, shortness of breath, rapid weight gain, or increased blood pressure.
• Allergic reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions to Marilact solution can occur. Signs of an allergic reaction may include hives, itching, rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
