The interaction of the dissolved/diluted medication with other medications must be considered.

Special Instructions

Do not mix with water oil solutions for injections, external cauterization agents. Drugs whose concentration must be within certain limits are diluted with water for injection only within the specified limits. Injection water cannot be directly injected intravascularly due to low osmotic pressure (risk of hemolysis!). Particular control of the amount of injectable solutions prepared with water for injection is required in neonates and small children, in whom even when administering small amounts, water-electrolyte imbalances are possible.

Impact on ability to drive vehicles, mechanisms

The use of the drug does not affect the ability to perform potentially hazardous activities requiring increased concentration and quick psychomotor reactions (driving vehicles, operating moving machinery, work of dispatcher and operator).

Contraindications

Do not use to dissolve or dilute medications for which another solvent is indicated as mandatory.

Overdose
