Description

Sodium chloride is the major extracellular cation. It is important in electrolyte and fluid balance, osmotic pressure control and water distribution as it restores sodium ions. It is used as a source of electrolytes and water for hydration, treatment of metabolic acidosis, priming solution in haemodialysis and treatment of hyperosmolar diabetes. It is also used as diluents for infusion of compatible drug additives. Sodium bicarbonate raises blood and urinary pH by dissociation to provide bicarbonate ions, which neutralises the hydrogen ion concentration. It also neutralises gastric acid via production of carbon dioxide.

Known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of this preparation.

Bicarbonate Component needs to be used with Acidic component (not to be used alone). Before use, the mixed solution must be diluted with highly purified water. Close the container tightly immediately after use. Discard solution in case of visible solid particles inside. Discard solution after 96 hours of first opening.
