Mechanism of action

This is a crystalloid solution containing sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and lactate ions in physiologically balanced concentrations. It is used for fluid resuscitation, maintenance of intravascular volume, and correction of electrolyte imbalances in clinical settings. The lactate component is metabolized by the liver to bicarbonate, providing mild alkalinizing effects.
