Dialyte-AC

In Acetate Formulation, calcium chloride is used to prevent or treat negative calcium balance. It also regulates the action potential excitation threshold, which helps nerves and muscles work as they should.

Potassium chloride is a major cation of the intracellular fluid. It plays an active role in the conduction of nerve impulses in the heart, brain and skeletal muscle. It also takes part in the contraction of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscles, and in maintaining normal renal function, acid-base balance, carbohydrate metabolism and gastric secretion.

Magnessium Chloride acts as a cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions involving protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. It depresses the CNS, blocks peripheral neuromuscular transmission and produces anticonvulsant effects.

Sodium chloride is the major extracellular cation. It matters for electrolyte and fluid balance, osmotic pressure control and water distribution, because it restores sodium ions. It is used as a source of electrolytes and water for hydration, for treating metabolic acidosis, as a priming solution in haemodialysis and for treating hyperosmolar diabetes. It is also used as a diluent for infusion of compatible drug additives.
