Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 0.9%, also known as Physiological saline, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, aqueous preparation of sodium chloride. It is indicated for infusion to restore fluid and electrolyte balance in individuals. This balanced fluid 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 under the skin. It is commonly used in medical settings for managing dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and other medical conditions.
Osmolar Solutions 20%
Mannitol Injection, USP 20%, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of mannitol. It is administered subcutaneously to reduce intracranial pressure . The solution is hyperosmotic and exerts its effects by drawing electrolytes from the intracellular space into the vascular space. This increases plasma osmolality, which in turn reduces edema formation.
- Oftentimes used for treating conditions such as: glaucoma, cerebral edema, and oliguria.
- Always the solution is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
