Haemaccel I.V 500 ml

Composition of Haemaccel I.V 500 ml

Haemaccel I.V 500 ml contains Polygeline 3.5% w/v (cross-linked gelatin polymer) in electrolyte solution; typically contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride (strengths vary by label). It belongs to the Colloid plasma expander (gelatin-based; polygeline) class of medicines.

Uses of Haemaccel I.V 500 ml

• Plasma volume expansion in hypovolaemia/shock due to blood or plasma loss (e.g.
• trauma
• surgery
• burns)
• peri-operative volume replacement when crystalloids are inadequate

Key benefits

• Rapid plasma volume expansion
• Supports blood pressure in hypovolaemia
• Helps maintain circulation during surgery/trauma
• Useful when crystalloids alone are insufficient

How Haemaccel I.V 500 ml works

Polygeline is a colloid plasma expander that increases intravascular oncotic pressure and expands circulating plasma volume. This improves venous return and blood pressure, helping restore perfusion during acute volume depletion.

How to take Haemaccel I.V 500 ml

For intravenous infusion only; administer under medical supervision with dose and rate based on clinical status (blood loss, haemodynamics, urine output). Can be given through standard IV set; monitor vitals and signs of fluid overload; not a substitute for blood when oxygen-carrying capacity is required.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Haemaccel I.V as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Haemaccel I.V than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.

Safety advice for Haemaccel I.V 500 ml

Warnings and precautions

Use with caution in cardiac failure, hypertension, renal impairment, severe anaemia, and patients at risk of fluid overload; monitor electrolytes and haemodynamics. Risk of hypersensitivity reactions—stop infusion immediately if reaction occurs and treat appropriately. Large volumes may cause haemodilution and can affect coagulation; use cautiously in bleeding disorders and monitor coagulation if high volumes are used. Not for intramuscular or oral use.

Interactions with other medicines

Additive risk of fluid overload with other IV fluids/blood products; concomitant diuretics/antihypertensives may influence blood pressure response. Do not mix with other medicines in the same IV line unless compatibility is known.

How to store Haemaccel I.V 500 ml

Store at room temperature (typically below 25°C), protect from excessive heat and freezing; keep in original container; use only if solution is clear and container intact.
