Extraneal
OVERDOSE
No data are available on experiences of overdosage with EXTRANEAL. Overdosage of EXTRANEAL would be expected to result in higher levels of serum icodextrin and metabolites, but it is not known what signs or symptoms might be caused by exposure in excess of the exposures used in clinical trials. In the event of overdosage with EXTRANEAL, continued peritoneal dialysis with glucose-based solutions should be provided.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
EXTRANEAL is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to cornstarch or icodextrin, or in patients with glycogen storage disease.
Generic Name: Icodextrin
