sodium chloride potassium chloride and calcium chloride - Generic Medications

This product is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solutions containing isotonic concentrations of electrolytes in water for injection. The solution is isotonic. The solution is administered by intravenous infusion for parenteral replacement of extracellular losses of fluid and electrolytes, with or without minimal carbohydrate calories. Each 100 mL of Ringer's Injection, USP contains sodium chloride 860 mg, potassium chloride 30 mg and calcium chloride, dihydrate 33 mg. May contain hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment. A liter provides 147 mEq sodium (Na + ), 4 mEq potassium (K + ), 4 mEq calcium (Ca ++ ) and 155 mEq chloride (Cl − ). The electrolyte content is isotonic (309 mOsmol/liter, calc.) in relation to the extracellular fluid (approx. 280 mOsmol/liter). The pH of the solution is 5.4 (5.0 − 7.5). The solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer (except for pH adjustment) and is intended only for use as a single-dose injection. When smaller doses are required the unused portion should be discarded. The solution is a parenteral fluid, nutrient and/or electrolyte replenisher. Dextrose, USP is chemically designated D-glucose, monohydrate (C 6 H 12 O 6 ∙ H 2 O), a hexose sugar freely soluble in water. It has the following structural formula: Calcium Chloride, USP is chemically designated calcium chloride, dihydrate (CaCl 2 ∙ 2 H 2 O), white fragments or granules freely soluble in water. Potassium Chloride, USP is chemically designated KCl, a white granular powder freely soluble in water. Sodium Chloride, USP is chemically designated NaCI, a white crystalline powder freely soluble in water. Water for Injection, USP is chemically designated H 2 O. The flexible plastic container is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinylchloride. Water can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap but not in amounts sufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solution inside the plastic container also can leach out certain chemical components in very small amounts before the expiration period is attained. However, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed by tests in animals according to USP biological standards for plastic containers. structural formula dextrose

Ringer’s Irrigation USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, solution of electrolytes in water for injection intended only for sterile irrigation, washing and rinsing purposes. Each 100 mL contains: Sodium Chloride USP 0.86 g; Potassium Chloride USP 0.03 g Calcium Chloride Dihydrate USP 0.033 g; Water for Injection USP qs pH: 5.8 (5.0-7.5). The solution is isotonic (310 mOsmol/liter, calc.) and has the following electrolyte content (mEq/liter): Na + 147; K + 4 Ca ++ 4.5; Cl − 156 The solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer and is intended only for use as a single-dose or short procedure irrigation. When smaller volumes are required the unused portion should be discarded. Ringer’s Irrigation USP may be classified as a sterile irrigant, wash, rinse and pharmaceutical vehicle. The formulas of the active ingredients are: Ingredients Molecular Formula Molecular Weight Sodium Chloride USP NaCl 58.44 Potassium Chloride USP KCl 74.55 Calcium Chloride Dihydrate USP CaCl 2 •2H 2 O 147.01 The plastic container is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene formulated and developed for parenteral drugs. The copolymer contains no plasticizers and exhibits virtually no leachability. The plastic container is also virtually impermeable to vapor transmission and therefore, requires no overwrap to maintain the proper drug concentration. The safety of the plastic container has been confirmed by biological evaluation procedures. The material passes Class Vl testing as specified in the U.S. Pharmacopeia for Biological Tests — Plastic Containers. These tests have shown that the container is nontoxic and biologically inert. Not made with natural rubber latex, PVC or DEHP.
