  • in states of hyperhydration (fluid overload).

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to use Sodium Chloride Mein.

Your doctor may request that blood tests be performed to monitor your condition, as it is necessary to control the balance of water and salts in the body.

Regular analytical controls of blood electrolytes should be performed, especially in prolonged therapies and if you suffer from acid-base imbalance, cardiac, hepatic, and/or renal disorders, as well as if you are being treated with corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic hormone.

This medicine should be administered with caution if you have hypertension, pre-eclampsia (a medical complication characterized by hypertension during pregnancy), or aldosteronism (a metabolic disorder characterized by an overproduction and secretion of aldosterone) or other conditions associated with sodium retention.

Sodium Chloride Mein will be administered with caution to premature and full-term infants.

If administered continuously in the same infusion site, pain, fever, infection, and phlebitis may occur.

Using Sodium Chloride Mein with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription, as it may be necessary to interrupt treatment or adjust the dose of one of them.

Before mixing with other medicines, compatibility tables should be checked, taking into account the pH and controlling ions.

The administration of sodium chloride accelerates the renal excretion of lithium, leading to a decrease in its therapeutic effect.

It should be administered with caution in patients treated with corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic hormone, as they may retain water and sodium.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Provided that administration is correct and controlled, no adverse effects are expected during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Currently, there are no relevant epidemiological data available, so it is recommended that if used during these periods, it should be done with caution.

Driving and Using Machines
