Alburel 20% Injection 100ml

About

Alburel 20% Injection (100ml) contains human albumin as its active ingredient. It is a liquid formulation derived from human plasma and is used to replace lost blood or body fluids in conditions such as heavy bleeding, surgical procedures, or kidney dialysis. The injection helps restore and maintain blood volume and is suitable for use in both adults and children. Albumin is a natural protein that plays a vital role in maintaining osmotic pressure between blood vessels and surrounding tissues, thereby helping to regulate fluid balance in the body.

Fluid or volume depletion can occur during medical events like surgery, shock, serious injuries, liver failure, dialysis, or burn treatments. Alburel  20% is commonly used in these cases to correct the deficiency. Since it is derived from human plasma, repeated use may increase the risk of viral infections. To minimize this risk, doctors may recommend Hepatitis A and B vaccinations before starting treatment.

Before receiving this injection, inform your doctor if you have high blood pressure, severe anemia, heart conditions, lung inflammation, or breathing problems. Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to human albumin or have had a prior allergic reaction to it.

During treatment, it is essential to undergo regular blood pressure checks and lab tests. Your doctor will also monitor electrolyte levels, urine output, pulse rate, and hemoglobin levels to ensure proper circulation and detect any issues early. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your healthcare provider before starting the treatment.
