• Critical care: 

• Essential in emergency departments and intensive care units for rapid fluid replacement

Features

• Isotonic solution: 

• The 0.9% sodium chloride concentration closely matches the body's natural fluid osmolarity (approximately 308 mOsmol/L), making it safe for intravenous use

• Secure packaging: 

• The 500mL EXCEL Plus container is designed for secure, tamper-evident handling

• It does not contain PVC, DEHP, or natural rubber latex, which reduces the risk of contamination and drug incompatibility

• Sterile and nonpyrogenic: 

• The solution is free of bacteria and other fever-inducing substances, ensuring patient safety during administration

• Convenient volume: 

• The 500mL bag provides a moderate volume suitable for many fluid and electrolyte replacement needs

Side effects

• Adverse reactions are possible, especially with improper administration

• Fluid overload: 

• Over-infusion can lead to overhydration, which may cause pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), peripheral edema (swelling), and weight gain

• Electrolyte imbalances:

• Hypernatremia (high sodium): 

• Can cause swelling, increased blood pressure, and, in severe cases, seizures or weakness

• Hyperchloremia (high chloride): 

• High levels of chloride ions can cause an acidifying effect

• Injection site reactions: 

• Possible reactions at the injection site include infection, phlebitis (inflammation of the vein), and venous thrombosis (blood clots)

• Extravasation: 

• The solution can leak out of the vein into surrounding tissue, causing irritation or damage

• Allergic reactions: 

• Although rare, some individuals may experience a serious allergic reaction, with symptoms such as breathing problems, hives, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue
