HarPI060710 Page 1 of 5 PRODUCT INFORMATION NAME OF THE MEDICINE Compound Sodium Lactate (Hartmann's) Solution for Injection DESCRIPTION Molecular formulae. Potassium chloride: KCl; sodium chloride: NaCl; calcium chloride dihydrate: CaCl 2 ; sodium S- lactate (chemical name, sodium 2- hydroxypropionate): C 3 H 5 O 3 Na. Sterile solution intended for intravenous use containing Sodium Lactate (3.17 g/L), Sodium Chloride (6.0 g/L), Potassium Chloride (400 mg/L) and Calcium Chloride Dihydrate (270 mg/L). Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrochloric acid is added for pH adjustment. The total amount of electrolytes per litre are: sodium 131 mmol, potassium 5 mmol, chloride 112 mmol, calcium 2 mmol, bicarbonate (as lactate) 28 mmol. The osmolality is approximately 255 mOsm/kg water. The solutions are isotonic, sterile, non-pyrogenic and do not contain antimicrobial agent or added buffers. The pH range is 5.0 to 7.0. Compound Sodium Lactate (Hartmann's) Solution for Injection is also known as Ringer-Lactate. ACTIONS PHARMACOLOGY A multiple electrolyte intravenous solution is intended for restoring the electrolyte balance and water for hydration. A combination of multiple electrolytes and sodium lactate, an alkalinising agent, will provide electrolyte balance and normalise the pH of the acid-base balance of the physiological system. Sodium is the major cation of extracellular fluid and functions principally in the control of water distribution, fluid and electrolyte balance and osmotic pressure of body fluids. Chloride, the major extracellular Read the complete document
