Dosage & administration - General Recommendations:
Human Normal Albumin 20% solution must be administered intravenously, the total dosage will vary with the individual.
This solution may be administered directly by intravenous route or combined with other isotonic solutions (e.g. 0.9% sodium chloride).
The addition of four volumes of normal saline to one volume of Human Normal Albumin IP 20% gives a solution which is approximately isotonic and isosmotic with citrated plasma. Albumin solutions should not be mixed with protein hydrolysates or solutions containing alcohol.
In adults, an initial infusion of 100 ml is suggested. Additional amounts may be administered as clinically indicated.
In the patient with a slightly low or normal blood volume, the rate of administration should be 1 ml per minute.
