🐾 Sodium chloride 0.9% solution, 100 ml

Sodium chloride is found in blood, tissue fluids, and its concentration ensures that the osmotic pressure of the blood remains constant. In sodium chloride deficiency there is blood clotting due to the transfer of water from the bloodstream to the tissues. With a significant deficit can develop spasms of smooth muscles, convulsive contraction of skeletal muscles, nervous system and circulatory disorders. Sodium chloride 0.9% solution is isotonic to animal blood plasma, so it is often called “physiological”, but this name is conditional, as the solution does not contain other substances (calcium, potassium salts, etc.), which are necessary to maintain the physiological properties of the body. The drug regulates acid-base balance of the body, exhibits detoxifying properties, has no irritating effect on tissues. During catarrhal processes the drug dilutes mucus, facilitates its separation and thus contributes to the elimination of the inflammatory process. The solution is quickly eliminated from the vascular system and only temporarily increases the volume of fluid circulating in the vessels, so it is not effective enough in case of large blood loss and shock. In these cases other plasma-substituting fluids (hemodez, enterodez, polyglucin, etc.) are used simultaneously.

Indications

Administration in cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs and cats for treatment of bacterial infections of gastrointestinal tract (including enteritis, gastroenteritis, gastroenterocolitis), respiratory diseases (including bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, rhinitis), surgical diseases (including wounds, abscesses, joint inflammation), diseases of the urogenital system (metritis, endometritis, cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis), skin and soft tissue diseases (including umbilical infections), as well as complications caused by microorganisms sensitive to amoxicillin. For treatment of leptospirosis, mastitis, agalactia in pigs, actinomycosis, swine rust, parainfluenza and paratyphus.

Active ingredient

Sodium chloride

Composition

Solution for injection is a clear liquid of brackish taste, pH 5.0 – 7.0.

How to take, the dosage

The drug is administered subcutaneously or intravenously in the following doses: Cattle – 2000-5000 ml; Horses – 1000-2500 ml; Cattle – 100-300 ml; Pigs – 100-200 ml. More often it is administered intravenously by drip method in large quantities. Volume and timing of administration depend on animal weight and course of the disease.

Special Instructions

Livestock products after application of sodium chloride solution can be used without restrictions.

Contraindications

Hypernatremia, threat of cerebral and pulmonary edema.

Side effects

In recommended doses and with proper method of administration it does not cause side effects and complications in animals. Administration of large amounts of the solution may lead to chloride acidosis, hyperhydration, increased excretion of potassium from the body.
