Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 0.9%, also known as Saline solution, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, aqueous solution of sodium chloride. It is indicated for injection to restore fluid and electrolyte balance in individuals. This balanced solution has a pH of approximately 6.5 to 7.5, and its osmolarity is approximately 290 milliosmoles per liter (mOsm/L).
Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 0.9%, can be administered by injection into a vein, or subcutaneously. It is commonly used in hospitals for treating dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and various health concerns.
Osmolar Solutions 20%
Mannitol Injection, USP 20%, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of mannitol. It is administered intramuscularly to increase urine output . The solution is hyperosmotic and exerts its effects by drawing electrolytes from the intracellular space into the vascular space. This elevates plasma osmolality, which in turn decreases edema formation.
- Frequently used for treating conditions such as: glaucoma, cerebral edema, and oliguria.
- Ensure that the solution is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
