Description

Lactated Ringer’s 250 mL is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution designed for intravenous administration to restore fluid and electrolyte balance. It contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate in water for injection, formulated to closely resemble the body's extracellular fluid composition. It is commonly used for fluid resuscitation, correcting acidosis, and as a maintenance solution in various clinical settings.

This solution is supplied in an Excel® flexible plastic bag, which is PVC-free and DEHP-free, ensuring patient safety by minimizing exposure to harmful plasticizers. The bag is lightweight, shatterproof, and designed to reduce leachables, maintaining the purity and stability of the solution. The container features an overwrap for sterility preservation and compatibility with standard IV administration sets.

Lactated Ringer’s solution is widely used for treating dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, burns, surgical fluid loss, and metabolic acidosis. It serves as a preferred fluid replacement in trauma, perioperative care, and sepsis management. The lactate component acts as a buffer, helping to counteract mild acidosis by converting to bicarbonate in the liver.
