PRECAUTIONS
Do not use unless the solution is clear. The entire contents of the

or irrigation pack should be used promptly.
When used as a vehicle for intravenous drug delivery, the product
information
document of such drugs should be checked prior to use to ensure
compatibility with
the sodium chloride solution. Reconstitution instructions should be
read carefully.
Excessive administration of sodium chloride causes hypernatraemia,
resulting in
dehydration of internal organs, hypokalaemia and acidosis. Monitoring
of fluid,
electrolyte and acid-base balance may be necessary. Congestive heart
failure and
pulmonary oedema may be precipitated, particularly in patients with
cardiovascular
disease or those receiving corticosteroids, corticotrophin or other
drugs that may give
rise to sodium retention. Sodium chloride should be administered with
care to
patients with congestive heart failure, hypertension, peripheral or
pulmonary oedema,
hypoproteinaemia, impaired renal function, urinary tract obstruction,
pre-eclampsia
and very young or elderly patients.
