DEFINITION

Potassium Chloride in Lactated Ringer's and Dextrose Injection is a sterile solution of Calcium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, and Sodium Lactate in Water for Injection. It contains, in each 100 mL, NLT 285.0 and NMT 315.0 mg of sodium (Na) [as sodium chloride (NaCl) and anhydrous sodium lactate (C₃H₅NaO₃)], NLT 4.90 and NMT 6.00 mg of calcium (Ca) [equivalent to NLT 18.0 and NMT 22.0 mg of calcium chloride (CaCl₂·2H₂O)], and NLT 231.0 and NMT 261.0 mg of lactate (C₃H₅O₃) [equivalent to NLT 290.0 and NMT 330.0 mg of anhydrous sodium lactate (C₃H₅NaO₃)]. It contains NLT 95.0% and NMT 105.0% of the labeled amount of potassium chloride (KCl), NLT 90.0% and NMT 105.0% of the labeled amount of dextrose (C₆H₁₂O₆·H₂O), and NLT 90.0% and NMT 110.0% of the labeled amount of chloride (Cl) [as sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl), and calcium chloride (CaCl₂·2H₂O)]. It contains no antimicrobial agents.
