“This approval showcases Nexus’ commitment to developing and commercializing critically needed and historically scarce IV solutions,” said Mariam S. Darsot, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nexus Pharmaceuticals. “IV solutions have been under pressure and in short supply periodically over the last five years due to logistical constraints and supplier concentration. Nexus hopes to alleviate some of those issues by bringing this product to market and giving customers alternatives when the product is needed most.”
Nexus Pharmaceuticals’ Potassium Chloride in Water for Injection will be available in cartons of 24 IV bags and the product is an AP-rated generic.
Potassium Chloride Injection is indicated in the treatment of potassium deficiency states when oral replacement is not feasible. It is intended for the maintenance of Serum K+ levels and for potassium supplementation in fluid restricted patients who cannot accommodate additional volumes of fluid associated with potassium solutions of lower concentration.
