An overdosage may cause a transient metabolic acidosis with hyperventilation which could lead to death (See “WARNINGS”). In most cases the acidosis will self-compensate and the base deficit will return to normal following completion of the infusion. If the condition persists, the deficit should be determined and corrected by a calculated dose of an alkalizing agent.

The administration of R-Gene® 10 (arginine hydrochloride injection) is contraindicated in persons having known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in this product.
