Elin Sodium Chloride Dosage/Direction for Use

If dilution is required, use Sterile Water for Injection or other suitable parenteral solvents to dilute Sodium Chloride 2.5 mEq/mL Injection prior to administration.
Sodium Depletion: Aseptically dilute 61.6 mL Sodium Chloride 2.5 mEq/mL injection to 1 liter with Sterile water for injection to obtain an isotonic solution (0.9%) and administer intravenously. 2 to 3 Liters may be given over 2 to 3 hours, thereafter, the rate may be reduced.
Sodium and Water Depletion: Aseptically prepare a solution containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride and 5% glucose and administer intravenously.
Fluid Replacement: Aseptically dilute 30.8 mL Sodium Chloride 2.5 mEq/mL Injection 1 liter with Sterile Water for Injection to obtain a 0.45% Sodium Chloride Solution and administer intravenously.
Acutely Severe Hyponatremia: Aseptically Sodium Chloride 2.5 mEq/mL Injection may be used to prepare hypertonic solutions in the following dilutions: 1.8 % Sodium Chloride Injection: 12.3 mL q.s. ad 100 mL solution; 3.0 % Sodium Chloride Injection: 20.5 mL q.s. ad 100 mL solution; 5.0 % Sodium Chloride Injection: 34.2 mL q.s. ad 100 mL solution; Or as prescribed by the physician.
