SODIUM CHLORIDE-DARNITSA
UkraineThe drug is used to restore the balance of water and salts in the body during dehydration, burns, injuries, or after surgery. It is also used as a solvent for other medicines, for washing wounds, the nasal mucosa, or catheters.
Frequently asked questions
How should Sodium chloride-darnitsa be taken correctly?
The solution is administered intravenously (as a drip), rectally (as enemas), orally, or used externally for washing. The dosage and administration rate are determined by a physician depending on the patient's condition.
What side effects may the drug cause?
When used correctly, no side effects are observed. However, massive administration may lead to the development of hyperchloremic acidosis. Overdose may lead to heart failure, excessive potassium excretion, and fluid accumulation in the body.
Who should not use this product?
Contraindications include excess fluid in the body (hyperhydration), elevated levels of sodium or chloride in the blood, as well as conditions that threaten the development of pulmonary edema. The drug must not be used for eye irrigation during ophthalmic surgeries.
Can the drug be combined with other medicines?
Sodium chloride-darnitsa is compatible with most medicinal products, but it should not be used as a solvent for medicines that are incompatible with it. Administration of the drug may lower blood lithium levels; therefore, patients taking lithium require monitoring of this element's levels.
Is caution required for certain diseases?
Caution should be exercised in patients with impaired kidney function, heart defects, liver cirrhosis (in cases of edema), and those taking corticosteroids or lithium. In such cases, it is necessary to continuously monitor electrolyte levels in the blood and urine.
Instructions for use
INSTRUCTIONS for medical use of the medicinal product SODIUM CHLORIDE-DARNITSA (SODIUM CHLORIDE-DARNITSA)
Composition:
Active ingredient: sodium chloride;
1 ml of solution contains sodium chloride 9.0 mg;
Ion composition per 1 l of medicinal product: Na+ – 154 mmol, Cl¯ – 154 mmol;
Excipient: water for injections.
Medicinal form. Infusion solution.
Main physicochemical properties: clear, colorless liquid.
Pharmacotherapeutic group.
Plasma substitutes and perfusion solutions. Electrolyte solutions. ATC code B05X A03.
Pharmacological Properties
Pharmacodynamics
0.9% sodium chloride solution normalizes water-electrolyte balance and corrects fluid deficiency in the human body, which develops in dehydration or due to accumulation of extracellular fluid in large burn areas and traumatic injuries, during abdominal surgeries, and in peritonitis.
0.9% sodium chloride solution improves tissue perfusion and enhances the effectiveness of blood transfusion measures in massive blood loss and severe forms of shock.
It also exerts a detoxifying effect due to a transient increase in fluid volume, reduction of toxic substances concentration in the blood, and stimulation of diuresis.
Pharmacokinetics
The solution is rapidly eliminated from the vascular system. The medicinal product remains in the vascular bed for a short period, after which it passes into the interstitial and intracellular compartments. After 1 hour, only approximately half of the administered solution remains within blood vessels. Salts and fluid are very rapidly excreted by the kidneys, increasing diuresis.
Clinical characteristics.
Indications.
For replenishment of body fluid deficiency and as part of intensive care therapy; as a solvent for other compatible medicinal products. Can be used locally for wound irrigation, nasal mucosa, as well as for catheters and transfusion systems.
Contraindications.
Hyperhydration, hyperchloremia, hypernatremia, hyperchloremic acidosis, conditions associated with the risk of developing pulmonary edema.
The medicinal product should not be used for eye irrigation during ophthalmic surgery.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions.
0.9% sodium chloride solution is compatible with most medicinal products, therefore it is commonly used as a solvent for various drugs, except for those medicinal products which are incompatible with sodium chloride as a solvent.
Administration of 0.9% sodium chloride may result in decreased lithium levels.
Special precautions for use.
During prolonged administration, especially in large volumes, monitor electrolyte levels in plasma and urine, as well as diuresis.
Exercise caution when administering to patients with impaired renal excretory function, decompensated heart defects, or edema-ascites syndrome in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Concomitant use with corticosteroids or corticotropin requires continuous monitoring of blood electrolyte levels.
Patients receiving lithium preparations should avoid very high or very low sodium intake. Monitoring of blood lithium levels is recommended.
In shock states and blood loss, transfusion of blood, plasma, and plasma substitutes can be performed simultaneously with administration of 0.9% sodium chloride solution.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
The medicinal product may be used if clinically indicated.
Ability to influence reaction rate while driving or operating machinery. Does not affect.
Administration and Dosage
Administered intravenously, rectally, and externally.
Dosage
Administer intravenously by drip infusion at a rate of 4–10 mL/kg/hour, up to 3 L or more of solution per day, depending on the clinical condition and degree of fluid loss; may be administered orally; administered in enemas at doses of 75–100 mL; used for wound and mucous membrane irrigation.
Administration Method
Do not insert the needle(s) into areas of the polymer bottle not intended for this purpose—use only sterile ports!
For infusion therapy, follow this procedure:
- Remove the protective plastic cap with the first-opening indicator (if present);
- Remove protective valve(s) No. 1 as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (the manufacturer may use different types and materials for protective valves);
- Remove the needle cap and insert the needle into any of the special ports No. 2 of the infusion bottle (see Figures 1 and 2);
- The other sterile port may be used either for introducing other medicinal products into the infusion bottle (No. 4, see Figure 3), or, if the flow rate is insufficient, for a venting needle (No. 4, see Figure 3);
- Hang the solution bottle using the special ring No. 3 located at the bottom of the bottle (see Figure 3).
Children.
In children with shock-related dehydration (without laboratory confirmation), administer 20–30 mL/kg. Subsequent dosing should be adjusted based on laboratory parameters. The total daily dose depends on fluid and electrolyte balance, etc.
Overdose.
May lead to hyperchloremic acidosis, increased excretion of potassium from the body, hyperhydration, and hypervolemia, which may result in cardiac failure. If symptoms of these conditions occur, administration of the medicinal product should be discontinued, the patient's condition assessed, and appropriate supportive measures provided.

Not observed when the medicinal product is used correctly.
Hyperchloremic acidosis may develop during massive infusions.
