About VOLUHAES
Solution
Voluhaes Solution is
used for the treatment of hypovolemia in both adults and children. It helps to
replace lost blood plasma and prevent dehydration. Hypovolemia is a condition
where the body loses too much fluid, such as water or blood. It can also be
called volume depletion or volume contraction.
Voluhaes Solution
contains hydroxyethyl starch and sodium chloride. Hydroxyethyl starch works by
increasing blood volume and maintaining blood pressure, whereas sodium chloride
works by maintaining fluid balance and treating dehydration or electrolyte
imbalances. Thereby, together, we used to treat hypovolemia by maintaining
proper blood fluids.
In some cases,
Voluhaes Solution may cause side effects such as pruritus (itching), elevated
serum amylase, and hemodilution. You are advised to talk to your doctor if the
side effects persist or worsen. The dose of the Voluhaes Solution varies from

undergoing open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, monitor coagulation
status and discontinue use at the first sign of coagulopathy due to reported
excess bleeding. Be aware that elevated serum amylase values may occur,
potentially interfering with the diagnosis of pancreatitis. Monitor closely on
liver and kidney functions, serum electrolytes, and fluid balance to avoid
negative complications. High doses of Voluven Solution may lead to dilution of
blood components and reduction in hematocrit and coagulation factors. Dose
adjustment is required for patients with cardiac or renal dysfunction. Inform
your doctor if you are a pregnant or nursing woman before taking Voluhaes
