Sodium Chloride 0.9% Physiological Water 500 ml Galenica is a sterile and isotonic solution used mainly for medical and therapeutic purposes, indicated for multiple applications in the healthcare field.
This solution is composed of 0.9% sodium chloride dissolved in purified water, ensuring an electrolyte balance similar to that of human body fluids, making it safe and compatible for intravenous use, infiltrations, washing and irrigation.
Easily usable in various medical procedures, physiological water is a fundamental element in hospitals, clinics and home use, thanks to its purity and compliance with galenic preparation requirements.
Therapeutic Indications
The Sodium Chloride 0.9% Physiological Water solution is indicated for the restoration and maintenance of water and electrolyte balance in patients who need to replenish body fluids, especially in situations of dehydration and loss of mineral salts due to vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive sweating or surgery.
It is widely used for the dilution and administration of drugs intravenously, ensuring safe and compatible delivery. Furthermore, it is used for irrigation and washing of wounds, keeping the affected area clean without causing irritation or damage to the tissues.
This solution is also valid for inhalation, as a vehicle for aerosols, and for eye, nasal and ear rinses, providing relief in cases of irritation or dryness without altering the delicate physiological balance of the mucous membranes.
Suitable for all ages, it can be used in pediatric, geriatric settings and in complex clinical situations where accurate management of body fluids is required.
Composition
Active ingredient: Sodium chloride 0.9% (NaCl), which corresponds to 9 grams of pure sodium chloride per liter of solution.
The main component is purified water prepared according to rigorous galenic standards, resulting free of contaminants and foreign particles that could compromise safety of use.
This balanced composition ensures isotonic tonicity with respect to body fluids, avoiding osmotic imbalances and promoting rapid absorption and distribution in the tissues.
It does not contain preservatives, colorants or chemical additives, thus guaranteeing the absence of allergic reactions or side effects related to the presence of foreign substances.
Each 500 ml package is sealed in a sterile container to preserve its quality until use, compliant with current regulations for galenic medicinal products.
Contraindications
The use of the Sodium Chloride 0.9% Physiological Water solution may be contraindicated in case of known hypersensitivity to one of the components present in the solution, even if this occurrence is very rare given the high degree of purity of the product.
It is not suitable for use in conditions of hypernatremia or severe edema where the infusion of sodium-containing fluids could aggravate the patient's clinical status.
It must be used with caution in subjects suffering from congestive heart failure, renal failure or pathologies involving fluid retention, to avoid risks of volume overload.
In the presence of alterations in blood electrolyte values, continuous medical monitoring is essential to avoid potentially dangerous imbalances.
Safety of the drug for the species
The 0.9% Sodium Chloride solution is widely considered safe for human and veterinary use when used correctly according to therapeutic indications, thanks to its isotonic composition and free of toxic agents.
Not being a drug in the strict sense, but a high purity galenic preparation, it does not cause known side effects if used in the recommended doses and methods.
It is essential that administration is carried out with sterile devices and in a controlled environment to avoid contamination and risks of infection.
In cases of intravenous administration, correct flow management and control of the water balance are important to prevent any complications related to excess fluids or rapid injection.
