Mechanism of action
This solution contains sodium and chloride ions in physiological concentrations (0.9% w/v), matching the osmolarity of blood plasma. It is used intravenously or topically to replace lost fluids, maintain hydration, and serve as a vehicle for drug administration without causing osmotic stress to cells.
Approved indications
- Fluid and electrolyte replacement in dehydration
- Vehicle for intravenous drug administration
- Wound irrigation and topical cleansing
- Maintenance of vascular access patency
Common side effects
- Hyperchloremic acidosis (with prolonged high-volume infusion)
- Hypernatremia (with excessive administration)
- Fluid overload / pulmonary edema (in susceptible patients)
- Local irritation at infusion site
