Description

Lactated Ringer's Solution 1000 mL is an intravenous (IV) fluid used to restore and maintain the body's electrolyte balance. It is commonly administered to treat dehydration, fluid loss due to surgery, trauma, or burns, and to correct electrolyte imbalances. The solution contains sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride, each contributing to the restoration of normal fluid and electrolyte levels in the body.

This isotonic solution mimics the electrolyte composition of plasma, making it suitable for intravenous infusion without causing significant changes in the body's osmotic balance. It is often preferred over normal saline for its additional components, particularly lactate, which can help buffer acid in the body.

Lactated Ringer's Solution is supplied in a 1000 mL container and is intended for intravenous infusion under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Proper monitoring is essential to avoid fluid overload or electrolyte imbalances during administration. It is especially beneficial in patients experiencing significant fluid loss or those undergoing surgery.
