Normal Saline 1000ml

Normal Saline 1000ml is an isotonic intravenous and irrigation fluid. Its active ingredient is Normal Saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride), and it is used for dehydration, fluid replacement, low blood sodium, diluting medicines and wound or nasal rinsing. Pack size: normal saline 1000ml.

Uses of Normal Saline 1000ml

Normal Saline 1000ml is a sterile salt solution with the same strength of sodium chloride as the body’s own fluids. It is given into a vein to replace fluid and salt lost through vomiting, diarrhoea, bleeding, burns or surgery, and to keep a drip line open. It is also used to dilute many injectable medicines, and small ampoules or bottles are used to rinse wounds, the eyes or the nose.

How Normal Saline 1000ml works

Normal saline has roughly the same salt concentration as blood plasma, so it stays mainly in the bloodstream and the fluid around cells without drawing water into or out of them. This restores circulating volume and blood pressure and replaces lost sodium and chloride.

Possible side effects

Problems with Normal Saline 1000ml are uncommon when it is given correctly, but they may include:

• Pain, redness or swelling where the drip is inserted
• Swelling of the ankles, legs or hands
• Bruising at the injection site
• Feeling thirsty

Tell the nurse or doctor straight away if you become short of breath, notice sudden swelling of the face or limbs, or the drip site becomes very painful, hot or swollen.

Precautions and warnings

• Intravenous Normal Saline 1000ml is given in a hospital or clinic by trained staff, who adjust the amount and rate to your needs.
• Tell the medical team if you have heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease or high blood pressure, as extra salt and fluid can build up in these conditions.
• Let them know if you are on a low-salt diet or take medicines, such as steroids, that make the body hold on to salt.
• Your blood salts and fluid balance may be checked with blood tests during longer treatment.
• Sterile ampoules and bottles are for single use, so discard any solution left over after opening.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
