Sodium Chloride
Sodium Chloride is an inorganic compound classified as an electrolyte and a saline solution. Sodium Chloride works by replenishing sodium and chloride ions in the body. It helps maintain the balance of electrolytes, regulates fluid levels, and supports various physiological processes, including nerve and muscle function.
- Sodium Chloride is indicated for the treatment and prevention of sodium and chloride deficiencies.
- It is commonly used for intravenous hydration, electrolyte replacement, and dilution of other medications for intravenous administration.
- It may also be used as a nasal wash or irrigation solution for the relief of nasal congestion or as an eyewash for minor eye irritations.
- The dosage and administration of Sodium Chloride may vary depending on the specific product, patient age, and medical condition.
- It is available in various strengths and formulations, including injectable solutions, nasal sprays, and eye drops.
- The appropriate dosage and administration route should be determined by a healthcare professional.
Adverse reactions associated with Sodium Chloride are generally rare. The following adverse reactions have been reported:
- Local irritation or pain at the injection site

- Excessive or rapid intravenous administration of Sodium Chloride can lead to fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, and congestive heart failure, particularly in patients with pre-existing cardiac or renal conditions. Careful monitoring of fluid and electrolyte status is necessary.
- Patients with a history of hypertension, heart failure, edema, or renal impairment should be closely monitored when receiving Sodium Chloride.
- Use with caution in patients with impaired renal function or conditions that may increase the risk of fluid retention or sodium sensitivity.
