2. What you need to know before you use Compound Sodium Lactate
Do not use Compound Sodium Lactate if you have
• an impairment to metabolise lactate connected with high levels of lactate in your blood (see also section “Take special care with...”)
• too much water in your body (water intoxication)
• too high blood volume (circulatory overload)
• a weak heart that can not pump enough blood into your lungs or circulation (congestive heart failure)
• abnormally high blood pressure (hypertension)
• impaired kidney function
• severe liver damage
• an accumulation of fluid and sodium (oedema with sodium retention)
• too alkaline blood due to hyperventilation (respiratory alkalosis)
Your doctor will not give you this medicine to correct abnormally high levels of acids in the blood caused by your metabolism (severe metabolic acidosis)

Warnings and precautions

• abnormally high levels of bases in the blood caused by your metabolism (severe metabolic alkalosis)
• failure of your lungs
• excess water in your body (peripheral oedema)
• a condition where you are retaining sodium, such as high blood pressure, toxaemia of pregnancy (see “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”), too high levels of aldosterone in your body, treatment with cortisone

• a condition where you are retaining potassium, e.g. acute deficiency of
water in your body, extensive tissue destruction as occurs with severe burns
• a disease associated with high levels of vitamin D in your blood such as
sarcoidosis
• kidney stones or a history of them
If you have constantly low blood sodium levels your doctor will take special
care to give you this solution slowly. This will prevent possible brain damages(osmotic demyelinisation syndrome).
