Description
TOTILAC® is a sterile and non-pyrogenic solution containing hypertonic concentration of sodium lactate with
physiological concentration of potassium chloride and calcium chloride in water for injection. This solution has
an osmolarity of 1020 mOsml/L and a pH of + 7.0.
Pharmacology
TOTILAC® contains strong ions which are fully dissociative into anions (lactate and chloride) and cations
(sodium, potassium, calcium) when dissolved in water.
Sodium, a principal cation of extracellular fluid and its high concentration provides hypertonicity that is
beneficial in fluid resuscitation as it improves hemodynamic with small volume.
Lactate, a physiological metabolite and acts as energetic substrate, which is actively oxidized by every
mitochondrion-containing cell, i.e. the vast majority of cells in the body, especially in highly active organs such
as brain, kidney, heart and muscles. Its oxidation results in energy release similar to that of glucose (4 Kcal/g of
lactate).
Following a hypoxic period, lactate is a preferred or even an obligatory energy substrate over glucose because
lactate acts as a ready to use substrate since its oxidation does not require investment of ATP, unlike glucose,
and its usage prevent the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
Beside oxidation, lactate can be converted into glucose via gluconeogenic pathway, which occurs mainly in
liver but also in kidney.
The safety and efficacy of Totilac® was evaluated in 208 patients, divided into 2 groups:
TOTILAC® and Ringer Lactate group. TOTILAC® was given at a max. dosage of 10 cc/kg BW over 12h while RL was
given at a max. dosage of 30 cc/kg BW over 12h.
Efficacy: patients with TOTILAC® infusion, exhibited a better Cardiac Index (p=0.018) with less fluid infusion
(p<0.0001) compared to that with RL group. The number of patients in TOTILAC® group required milrinone was
significantly less compared to RL group (28% vs 39%, p<0.05).
Safety: the clinical safety profile was the same with RL, while hypernatremia event (plasma Na > 155 mmol/L)
did not occur in this study.
Indications
Small volume fluid therapy for rapid restoration of intravascular volume (hemorrhagic shock, dengue shock,
burnt patient, etc.); prevention of hypovolemia and maintaining stable hemodynamic status (perioperative
condition); as an alternative in the treatment of metabolic acidosis, electrolyte disorder (hyponatremia);
treatment for tissue/ peripheral edema; reduction of intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury; source of
alternative energy substrate during cell restoration post-ischemia.
Dose is adjusted according to the individual need based on the status of patient’s haemodynamic.

Contraindications
TOTILAC® is contraindicated in the states of hypovolemia and hypernatremia (plasma sodium is more than 155
mmol/L) and severe renal failure.
Clinical evaluation and periodic laboratory determinations are necessary to monitor changes in fluid
balance, electrolyte concentrations and acid base balance during prolonged parenteral therapy or
whenever the condition of the patient warrants such evaluation.
Solutions containing calcium ions should not be administered simultaneously through the same
administration set as blood because of the likelihood of coagulation.
Solutions which contain potassium should be used with great care in the presence of cardiac disease,
particularly in digitalized patients, in patients with hyperkalemia, severe renal failure and in conditions
in which potassium retention is present.
Solutions containing sodium ions should be used with great care, if at all, in patients with congestive
heart failure, severe renal insufficiency and in clinical states in which there exist edema with sodium
retention.
In patients with diminished renal function, administration of solutions containing sodium or potassium
ions may result in sodium or potassium retention.
Solutions containing lactate ions should be used with great care in patients with metabolic or
respiratory alkalosis as excess administration may result in metabolic alkalosis.
The risk of solute overload causing congested states with peripheral and pulmonary edema is directly
proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of such solutions.
Do not administer unless solution is clear and container is undamaged. Discard unused portion.
Hypertonic lactate is to be used with caution in patients with history of panic disorder since panic
attacks have been reported with administration of lactate infusion.
Used with caution in patients with diabetes and myasthenia gravis, hypertension and intestinal ulcers
as well as in ion term treatment of babies and aged people.
Drug Interactions
TOTILAC® contains Ca++ ions. Precipitation may occur with the addition of anorganic phosphate, hydrogen
carbonate or oxalate.
Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis
The active ingredients, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium chloride and sodium lactate are neither
carcinogenic nor mutagenic.
Adverse Reactions
Reactions which may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration include febrile
response, infection, extravasation and hypervolemia. If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the
infusion, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures and save the reminder of
the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.
Overdosage
There is no overdose experience with TOTILAC® infusion. No specific antidotes to these preparations are
known. Should overdose occur, treat the symptoms, and institute supportive measures as required.
Cautions:
Food, Drug, Devices and Cosmetics Act prohibits dispensing without prescription.
