Product description

Normosol-R is a sterile, nonpyrogenic isotonic solution of balanced electrolytes in water for injection for cats, dogs, and horses.

Active ingredients

  • Each 100 mL of Normosol-R contains:

    • Sodium chloride 526 mg
    • Sodium acetate 222 mg
    • Sodium gluconate 502 mg
    • Potassium chloride 37 mg
    • Magnesium chloride hexahydrate 30 mg
    • Dextrose 5%
  • Normosol-R may contain:

    • HCl and/or NaOH for pH adjustment (pH 6.6 (5.5 - 8.0): 294 mOsmol/liter (calc.).)
    • Electrolytes per 1000 mL (not including pH adjustment):
    • Sodium 140 mEq; potassium 5 mEq; magnesium 3 mEq; chloride 98 mEq; acetate 27 mEq; gluconate 23 mEq.

Indications for use

  • Normosol-R is indicated for replacement of acute extracellular fluid volume losses in surgery, trauma, burns or shock.

  • Normosol-R also can be used as an adjunct to restore a decrease in circulatory volume in patients with moderate blood loss.

  • Normosol-R is not intended to supplant transfusion of whole blood or packed red cells in the presence of uncontrolled hemorrhage or severe reductions of red cell volume.

Administration and dosage

  • Normosol-R is administered by intravenous infusion. It may also be administered subcutaneously.

  • The amount to be infused is based on replacement of losses of extracellular fluid volume in the individual patient.

  • Up to 3 times the volume of estimated blood loss during and after surgery can be given to correct circulatory volume when there is only a moderate loss of blood.
