Generic Name: dextran, high molecular weight (DEX tran)
Brand Names: Dextran 70 6% in 0.9% Sodium Chloride, Dextran 70 6% in 5% Dextrose, Gentran 70, Hyskon
High-molecular weight dextran is a plasma volume expander derived from natural sources of sugar (glucose). It works by restoring blood plasma lost through severe bleeding.
Dextran is used to treat hypovolemia (a decrease in the volume of circulating blood plasma), that can result from severe blood loss after surgery, injury, or other causes of bleeding.
Dextran is also used to expand the inside of the uterus, making it easier for a doctor to see with a scope during a diagnostic procedure called hysteroscopy.
Dextran may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
If possible before you receive dextran, tell your doctor if you have a bleeding or blood clotting disorder, a blood cell disorder, heart disease or congestive heart failure, kidney disease, a stomach or intestinal disorder, pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), urination problems, a food or drug allergy, or if you are on a low-salt diet.
In an emergency situation, it may not be possible before you are treated to tell your caregivers about any health conditions you have or if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. However, make sure any doctor caring for you afterward knows that you have received this medication.
Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially a blood thinner, steroid medication, digoxin, or a diuretic.
If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely receive this medication. If possible before you receive dextran, tell your doctor if you have:
a bleeding or blood clotting disorder;
a blood cell disorder such as thrombocytopenia (lack of platelets);
heart disease or congestive heart failure;
kidney disease;
a stomach or intestinal disorder;
pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs);
urination problems not caused by hypovolemia;
a food or drug allergy; or
if you are on a low-salt diet.
In an emergency situation, it may not be possible before you are treated to tell your caregivers about any health conditions you have or if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. However, make sure any doctor caring for you afterward knows that you have received this medication.
Dextran is given as an injection through a needle placed into a vein. For a hysteroscopy procedure, dextran is placed into the uterus using a small tube.
To be sure dextran is helping your condition, your blood may need to be tested often. This will help your doctor determine how long to treat you with dextran.
Since dextran is given as needed by a healthcare professional, it is not likely that you will miss a dose.
An overdose of dextran is not expected to produce life-threatening symptoms.
Follow your doctor's instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity after you are treated with dextran.
wheezing or tight feeling in your chest;
urinating less than usual or not at all;
swelling in your hands or feet;
unusual bleeding, or any bleeding that will not stop;
feeling like you might pass out; or
burning, itching, swelling, or pain around the IV needle.
Less serious side effects may include:
nausea, vomiting, stomach pain;
joint pain;
stuffy nose;
mild itching; or
skin rash.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Before you receive dextran, tell your doctor if you are also using:
a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin);
steroids (prednisolone and others);
digoxin (digitalis, Lanoxin); or
a diuretic (water pill) such as amiloride (Midamor, Moduretic), spironolactone (Aldactone, Aldactazide), or triamterene (Dyrenium, Dyazide, Maxzide).
This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with dextran. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
