Description
Gelofusine 500 ml is a sterile, isotonic plasma volume substitute used primarily for fluid replacement therapy in cases of blood loss, dehydration, or shock. It contains gelatin-based colloid molecules that help restore and maintain circulating blood volume, ensuring adequate tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery.
This solution is commonly used in hospitals during surgery, trauma, or severe burns, where rapid volume expansion is critical. Gelofusine’s balanced electrolyte composition minimizes the risk of electrolyte imbalances and provides effective plasma volume expansion without causing significant fluid shifts.
Gelofusine 500 ml is administered intravenously under medical supervision and is suitable for adults and children requiring volume replacement. Its rapid onset of action and safety profile make it a valuable option for managing hypovolemia and supporting circulatory stability.
As with all intravenous fluids, monitoring for potential side effects such as allergic reactions, fluid overload, or electrolyte disturbances is essential. Gelofusine should be used with caution in patients with kidney impairment or heart failure.
