Isotonic Sodium Chloride Injection is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution containing 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in water for injection. It is an isotonic solution that closely matches the osmolarity of body fluids, making it suitable for intravenous, subcutaneous, or rectal administration. This solution is used primarily for replenishing fluids and electrolytes, diluting injectable medications, and irrigating wounds.
Features:
- Isotonic Solution: Matches the osmolarity of body fluids, ensuring safe and effective hydration and electrolyte balance.
- Sterile & Non-Pyrogenic: Free from harmful microorganisms, ensuring safety for medical use.
- Electrolyte Replenishment: Restores sodium and chloride levels in the body to maintain fluid balance.
- Diluent: Can be used to dilute or reconstitute injectable medications.
Indications:
- Supply of Water and Electrolytes: Used for the replenishment of fluids in cases of sodium deficiency, chlorine deficiency, or dehydration.
- Diluent for Injectable Preparations: Can be used to dilute injectable drugs to appropriate concentrations for safe administration.
Applications:
- Fluid and Electrolyte Replenishment: Replaces lost fluids and electrolytes due to dehydration, medical treatments, or conditions like vomiting and diarrhea.
- Diluent for Injectable Medications: Used to dilute or reconstitute injectable drugs for easy and safe administration.
- Wound and Tissue Irrigation: Used for cleansing and irrigation of wounds or surgical sites.
Dosage & Administration:
- For Adults: The recommended dose ranges from 20 mL to 1000 mL, depending on clinical needs. The solution can be administered intravenously (I.V.), subcutaneously (S.C.), or rectally.
- Dosage Adjustment: The dosage may be increased or decreased depending on the age, symptoms, and body weight of the patient.
- Administration Method: Administered via the appropriate route as determined by the healthcare professional based on the condition being treated.
Storage:
- Temperature: Store in a hermetic container at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
- Shelf Life: 36 months from the manufacturing date.
Precautions:
- Overhydration Risk: Caution should be exercised in patients with conditions like heart failure or kidney problems to prevent fluid overload.
- Electrolyte Imbalances: Regular monitoring of sodium and chloride levels is recommended to avoid excessive accumulation or imbalances.
Side Effects:
- Injection Site Reactions: Mild swelling or discomfort at the injection site, which typically resolves on its own.
- Overdose Risk: Overuse can lead to fluid overload, edema, or electrolyte disturbances.
