Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 0.9%, also known as Normal website Saline Solution, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, aqueous mixture of sodium chloride. It is indicated for infusion to replace fluid and electrolyte balance in individuals. This isotonic solution has a pH of around 6.5-7.5, 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 under the skin. It is commonly used in hospitals for correcting 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 intravenously to reduce intracranial pressure . The solution is hyperosmotic and exerts its effects by drawing water from the intracellular space into the vascular space. This increases plasma osmolality, which in turn lowers edema formation.
- Commonly 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.
