Uses of Medisol Mannitol 500ml

Medisol Mannitol 500ml is a hospital infusion used to reduce swelling of the brain and raised pressure inside the skull, for example after a head injury. It is also used to bring down very high pressure in the eye quickly, such as in acute glaucoma or before some eye operations. It is given into a vein under close medical supervision.

How Medisol Mannitol 500ml works

Mannitol is a sugar alcohol that stays in the bloodstream and is filtered by the kidneys without being taken back up. It draws water out of swollen tissues such as the brain and eye into the blood, then increases the amount of urine the kidneys produce, carrying the extra fluid away.

Possible side effects

Because Medisol Mannitol 500ml moves fluid around the body, the most common effects are related to that, including:

• Passing more urine
• Thirst or dry mouth
• Headache
• Nausea or vomiting
• Changes in blood salt levels

Tell the nursing staff immediately about breathlessness, chest pain, swelling or pain at the drip site, confusion or a sudden fall in urine output.

Precautions and warnings

• Medisol Mannitol 500ml is given only in hospital by trained staff, with regular checks of fluid balance, blood salts and kidney function.
• Tell the team if you have heart failure, kidney disease or are dehydrated, as these affect whether it is safe for you.
• Let the doctors know about all other medicines you take, especially water tablets or lithium.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it will only be given if the benefit clearly outweighs the risk.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
