What are the Indications for SODIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM CITRATE?

• INDICATIONS REGIOCIT (sodium chloride and sodium citrate) solution is indicated for use as replacement solution for regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) of the extracorporeal circuit in patients treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), particularly when systemic anticoagulation with heparin is contraindicated, e.g., in patients with increased bleeding risks. REGIOCIT should be administered only under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of CRRT. Pediatrics Pediatrics (<18 years of age): No data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use. Geriatrics Geriatrics (> 65 years of age): Evidence from clinical studies and experience suggests that use in the geriatric population is not associated with differences in safety or effectiveness.
