About LACTATED RINGER'S INJECTION, USP

LACTATED RINGER'S INJECTION, USP is a sterile, isotonic intravenous fluid formulated to restore fluid and electrolyte balance in patients. It contains sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride in precise concentrations that match the body’s natural plasma composition. This balanced solution is commonly used during surgery, in critical care settings, and for patients experiencing dehydration or electrolyte disturbances. The formulation is designed to provide both volume expansion and essential electrolytes, supporting cardiovascular stability and metabolic function.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Provides isotonic fluid replacement to maintain blood pressure and circulatory volume.
• Delivers essential electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and lactate, to support cellular function.
• Used in perioperative care, trauma resuscitation, and for patients with fluid loss or electrolyte imbalance.

Active Ingredient & Action

The active components are sodium chloride 600 mg, sodium lactate 310 mg, potassium chloride 30 mg, and calcium chloride 20 mg per 100 mL. Sodium chloride supplies the primary sodium load, while lactate serves as a buffer to help correct metabolic acidosis. Potassium chloride replenishes potassium levels, and calcium chloride supports cardiac and muscular function. Together, these ingredients create a balanced electrolyte solution that mimics plasma composition.

Important Notes

LACTATED RINGER'S INJECTION, USP should be administered under medical supervision, following appropriate dilution and infusion rate guidelines. It is contraindicated in patients with hyperkalemia, severe renal impairment, or known hypersensitivity to any component.
