Pharmacological properties.

Pharmacodynamics.

0.9% sodium chloride solution normalizes the water-electrolyte balance and eliminates fluid deficiency in the human body, which develops during dehydration or due to accumulation of extracellular fluid in large burn and trauma areas, during abdominal surgeries, and peritonitis. The drug 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.

Rapidly leaves the vascular system. The drug 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 begin to be rapidly excreted by the kidneys, thereby increasing diuresis.
