  • Lactic Acid IP (Equivalent to 0.32 g of Sodium Lactate) 0.24 ml
  • Sodium Chloride IP 0.6g
  • Potassium Chloride IP 0.04 g
  • Calcium Chloride IP 0.027g
  • Water for Injection IP q.s.

  • Plastic bottle of 250ml, 500ml, 1000ml

Product Information:
  • Electrolyte content of RL is very similar to the free conc. in plasma, hence can be infused
  • rapidly without the risk of electrolyte imbalance. Sodium lactate in RL  is metabolized in
  • liver to  bicarbonate. As RL provides bicarbonate, it is useful in the correction of
  • metabolic acidosis
Contraindications:
  • Patients with vomiting or continuous nasogastric aspiration may have hypovolemia and metabolic alkalosis. It may worsen alkalosis.
  • In liver disease, severe hypoxia and shock, severe metabolic acidosis lactate metabolism is severely impaired, RL infusion can lead to lactate acidosis in such patients
