Description

Sodium Chloride 23.4% 30 mL is a hypertonic saline solution primarily used for the treatment of hyponatremia and as a plasma expander. It is formulated with 23.4% sodium chloride, making it highly concentrated compared to standard saline solutions. This formulation is administered intravenously under controlled conditions, and it is typically used in emergency medical settings or for patients with specific electrolyte imbalances.

The mechanism of action of sodium chloride in this concentration involves its ability to increase sodium levels in the blood, thereby correcting hyponatremia. By infusing the solution, sodium ions are introduced into the bloodstream, leading to an increase in the osmotic pressure, which helps to draw water into the bloodstream from the surrounding tissues, thus increasing blood volume.

This product is stored at controlled room temperature and should be kept away from direct sunlight to maintain stability. It is important that sodium chloride 23.4% be administered by healthcare professionals who can monitor the patient’s electrolyte levels and fluid balance closely, as rapid infusion or overuse can lead to adverse effects such as hypernatremia or fluid overload.
