Description

Sodium Chloride 0.9% (500 mL) in Polyethylene Bottle (Pb) is a sterile intravenous (IV) solution used for hydration and electrolyte replenishment. It contains 0.9% sodium chloride, which is equivalent to 9 grams of sodium chloride per liter of solution. This isotonic solution is commonly administered to patients who need fluid and sodium replacement due to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or various medical conditions.

The solution is often utilized in clinical settings for a variety of purposes, including IV infusion for patients undergoing surgery, those with burns, or individuals experiencing shock. It can also be used as a vehicle for the dilution or infusion of other medications. The polyethylene bottle packaging is designed to prevent contamination and ensure the solution’s sterility until use.

Sodium Chloride 0.9% is a standard solution in the medical field and is considered safe when used as directed. It is essential for clinicians to monitor patients closely for signs of fluid overload, especially when used in large quantities or for extended periods. Adverse effects, if any, are typically related to excessive sodium intake.
