Alerts And Precautions Adults

Vóór behandeling ECG maken en binnen de eerste 24 uur na starten van de behandeling nogmaals. Als tijdens de behandeling een verlenging van het QT-interval optreedt, voortzetting van de behandeling heroverwegen. Controle van de kaliumspiegel is aangewezen bij chronisch gebruik van corticosteroïden, laxantia of diuretica. Bij optreden van hypokaliëmie de behandeling onderbreken. Bij bestaande hypovolemie kan na parenterale toediening voorbijgaand hypotensie ontstaan. Na de eerste dosis kan het reactie- en concentratievermogen verminderd zijn. Bij pre-eclampsie en HELLP-syndroom dient de behandeling gezien de zeer hoge bloeddruk en de noodzaak van foetale bewaking (CTG) klinisch plaats te vinden. Een plotselinge te sterke daling van de bloeddruk kan een achteruitgang in de uteroplacentaire doorbloeding veroorzaken en daarmee foetale stress. Bij comedicatie van diuretica en antihypertensiva dient ECG-monitoring plaats te vinden.
