, also known as salt, is the primary ingredient. formulations may include purified water and other inactive ingredients depending on the specific product (e.g., preservatives, buffers).
Treatment of sodium depletion (hyponatremia)
Fluid replacement in dehydration
Irrigation of wounds or body cavities (depending on concentration)
Electrolyte replacement therapy (in conjunction with other electrolytes)
Treatment of hyperkalemia (in some cases, via dilution)
Iv Fluid Ns Iv 250ml (Sodium Chloride) provides sodium and chloride ions, essential electrolytes for maintaining fluid balance, nerve impulse transmission, and muscle contractions. Replacing these electrolytes corrects imbalances caused by dehydration, excessive sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Discard any unused solution if it's discolored or cloudy. Follow specific storage instructions on the product label.
Dosage varies greatly depending on the patient's condition, age, and severity of electrolyte imbalance. It's crucial to follow a healthcare professional's instructions precisely.
Sodium chloride is administered intravenously (IV), orally (as a solution), or topically, depending on the intended use.
Never self-administer sodium chloride without medical guidance.
Local irritation at the injection site (if given intravenously)
Nausea and vomiting (rare with oral administration)
Hypernatremia (high blood sodium levels)
Fluid overload (edema)
Hypervolemia (increased blood volume)
No specific interaction, but excessive alcohol consumption can worsen dehydration, potentially increasing the need for sodium chloride replacement. Consult your doctor.
May cause dizziness or lightheadedness in rare cases, especially with IV administration. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you feel alert.
Use only as directed by a doctor. Sodium chloride generally crosses the placental barrier and is excreted in breast milk.
Dosage should be carefully adjusted based on the child's weight and medical condition, as directed by a pediatrician.
Caution is advised in patients with kidney disease due to the risk of fluid overload and hypernatremia. Regular monitoring of blood electrolytes and kidney function is essential.
Generally, no significant impact on liver function is observed, but patients with liver disease may require careful monitoring.
