About This Medication
DESCRIPTION 3% Sorbitol Urologic Irrigating Solution is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, nonhemolytic, electrically nonconductive solution in a single dose UROMATIC Plastic Container for use as a urologic irrigating solution. Each liter contains 30 g Sorbitol in Water for Injection. pH 5.0 (4.5 to 6.5). Osmolarity 165 mOsmol/L (calc.). No antimicrobial agent has been added. Sorbitol is a reduced form of dextrose and is designated chemically as D-Glucitol, The UROMATIC plastic container is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride (PL 146 plastic). The amount of water that can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g., di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), up to 5 parts per million; however, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.

WARNINGS Not for injection. Not for use in patients with documented or suspected fructose intolerance. Solutions for urologic irrigation must be used with caution in patients with severe cardiopulmonary or renal dysfunction. Irrigating fluids used during transurethral prostatectomy have been demonstrated to enter the systemic circulation in relatively large volumes; thus sorbitol irrigating solution must be regarded as a systemic drug. Absorption of large amounts of fluids containing sorbitol may significantly alter cardiopulmonary and renal dynamics. Appropriate patient monitoring should be maintained due to the possibility of fluid overload. Should fluid overload occur, intensive fluid and electrolyte management is necessary. Monitoring of fluid and electrolyte levels beyond the acute phase may be considered due to the possibility of delayed fluid absorption. (See ADVERSE REACTIONS, Post-Marketing Experience) Hyperglycemia from metabolism of absorbed sorbitol may occur in patients with diabetes mellitus. The contents of an opened container should be used promptly to minimize the possibility of bacterial growth or pyrogen formation. Discard the unused portion of irrigating solution since no antimicrobial agent has been added.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE 3% Sorbitol Urologic Irrigating Solution is indicated for use as a urologic irrigating fluid with endoscopic instruments during transurethral procedures requiring distension, irrigation, and lavage of the urinary bladder. It may be used for lavage of an indwelling catheter to maintain patency.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The volume of solution needed will vary with the nature and duration of the urologic procedure. If desired, warm in overwrap to near body temperature in a water bath or oven heated to not more than 45°C. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit.
