Important Warnings
- Do not use if you are allergic to Physioneal 35 or any of its ingredients.
- Do not use if you have an uncorrectable problem with your abdomen or belly cavity, or if you have a condition that increases the risk of abdominal infection.
- Do not use if you have severe scarring of the lining of your abdomen that causes it to not work properly (peritoneal dysfunction).
- If you experience stomach pain, fever, or notice cloudy or lumpy fluid when draining, contact your healthcare team immediately. These could be signs of peritonitis (infection of the abdominal lining).

Show 6 more warnings
- If you have diabetes and use this product, your insulin or other diabetes medication dose may need to be adjusted, especially when starting or changing peritoneal dialysis.
- If you have a corn allergy, stop the infusion immediately and drain the fluid from your abdomen, as it can cause severe allergic reactions.
- Your doctor will regularly check your blood potassium levels. If they become too low, you may be given potassium chloride to correct the deficiency.
- If clamps are used incorrectly or tubes are flushed in the wrong order, air can enter your abdomen, potentially causing stomach pain and/or peritonitis.
- If you infuse an unmixed solution, drain it immediately and use a newly mixed solution bag.
- Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but serious complication of peritoneal dialysis. It causes inflammation in the abdomen and thickening of the intestines, leading to stomach pain, bloating, and vomiting. EPS can be fatal.
