Description

Sodium Chloride 0.9% Injection, 500 mL, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution intended for intravenous administration. It contains sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in water, formulated to be isotonic with blood plasma. Each 100 mL of solution provides 900 mg of sodium chloride, delivering 154 mEq of sodium and 154 mEq of chloride ions.

The isotonic nature of the solution makes it suitable for restoring and maintaining fluid balance in patients experiencing dehydration or electrolyte imbalances. It is commonly used for treating conditions such as hypovolemia, shock, and metabolic alkalosis. Sodium Chloride 0.9% Injection is widely utilized as a diluent or vehicle for the administration of intravenous drugs.

Each 500 mL container is manufactured using flexible plastic that is free from natural rubber latex, ensuring patient safety and reducing the risk of allergic reactions. The containers are designed for single-use to maintain sterility and minimize the risk of contamination. The solution is preservative-free, making it safe for intravenous use in sensitive patients.
