Mode of actions
Sodium chloride is the main salt found outside the body’s cells. It plays a key role in keeping the right balance of fluids and electrolytes, controlling water movement, and helping maintain osmotic pressure in the body. Sodium chloride helps replace lost sodium ions. It is used to provide fluids and electrolytes for hydration, treat metabolic acidosis, prepare blood for haemodialysis, and manage hyperosmolar diabetes. Additionally, it is used to dilute other medicines before they are given by infusion.
