Saline, Sterile For Injection 20ml Liquid

Sterile isotonic 0.9% sodium chloride for injection; wound irrigation; medication reconstitution and dilution. Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) for injection. Isotonic (308 mOsm/L). Mechanism: replaces extracellular sodium and chloride deficits; expands intravascular and interstitial compartments equally. Slightly hyperchloremic vs. plasma — large volumes may cause dilutional hyperchloremic acidosis. Used for medication reconstitution and dilution. Key information Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride for injection. Single-use. Check clarity and expiry. For reconstitution, dilution, and injection. Do not use as oral irrigant from injectable packaging.

IV, irrigation, or reconstitution: administer via IV catheter at appropriate rate, or flush wound with syringe. Store at room temperature; protect from light. If a dose is missed This medication is administered by a veterinarian or veterinary staff in a clinical setting. Missed doses are managed by your veterinary team — contact your veterinarian to reschedule.

Minimal adverse effects as diluent/irrigant. Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis (large volumes of 0.9% NaCl). Fluid overload. Phlebitis at catheter site. Sterile water (hypotonic) causes hemolysis IV — never sole IV fluid.

For animals Generally safe as diluent and irrigant. Large volumes of 0.9% NaCl: hyperchloremic acidosis risk. For people handling this medication Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Keep out of reach of children. If accidental ingestion occurs, contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222). Sterile saline — generally safe. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

Contact your veterinarian. Large-volume normal saline overdose causes hyperchloremic acidosis and fluid overload. Managed by veterinary staff.
