Histadril indications
Histadril Injection, USP, after dilution in isotonic sodium chloride injection, may be indicated in the treatment of patients with (1) hypochloremic states and (2) metabolic alkalosis.
Uses of Histadril in details
Histadril is used for the relief of cough in the form of cough expectorant. It is also used as an injection to treat patients with hypochloremia and metabolic alkalosis.
Histadril dosage
Histadril Injection, USP is administered intravenously and must be diluted before use. Solutions for intravenous infusion should not exceed a concentration of 1% to 2% of Histadril.
Dosage is dependent upon the condition and tolerance of the patient. It is recommended that the contents of one to two vials (100 to 200 mEq) be added to 500 or 1000 mL of isotonic (0.9%) sodium chloride injection. The rate of intravenous infusion should not exceed 5 mL per minute in adults (approximately 3 hours for infusion of 1000 mL). Dosage should be monitored by repeated serum bicarbonate determinations.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. See PRECAUTIONS.
Histadril interactions
In a treatment, patients should be monitored closely for signs of ammonia poisoning: pallor, sweating, irregular breathing, vomiting, bradycardia, arrhythmias, tremors, convulsions and coma.
Histadril should be used with caution in patients with heart and lung failure.
A longer-term correction of a hypochloraemia in patients with secondary metabolic alkalosis due to an intracellular potassium depletion can not be achieved by the sole administration of Histadril. Concomitant administration of potassium is also necessary.

Rapid intravenous administration of Histadril may be accompanied by pain or irritation at the site of injection or along the venous route.
Reactions which may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration include febrile response, infection at the site of injection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis extending from the site of injection, extravasation and hypervolemia (from large volume diluent).
If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the infusion, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.

Histadril is contraindicated in patients with severe impairment of renal or hepatic function.
Histadril should not be administered when metabolic alkalosis due to vomiting of hydrochloric acid is accompanied by loss of sodium (excretion of sodium bicarbonate in the urine).
