Indications

Pharmacology

Nasal drop: Sodium Chloride nasal drop is a non-drug, isotonic saline solution that is used to moisturize nasal membranes. This formulation provides comfort for extensive and continuous use. Sodium Chloride 0.9% nasal wash moistures inside the nose by dissolving and softening thick or crusty mucus thus helps to remove the mucus from the nose and makes breathing easier. Excess sodium is predominantly excreted by the kidneys with small amounts lost in faeces and sweat.

Nasal spray: Sodium Chloride 0.9% Nasal Spray moistens inside the nose by dissolving and softening thick or crusty mucus thus helps to remove the mucus from the nose and makes breathing easier. Excess Sodium is predominantly excreted by the kidneys with small amount lost in faeces and sweat. In babies and young children with stufy noses who cannot blow their noses, using this product helps to make the mucus easier to remove with a nasal bulb syringe. This helps relieve stufness and makes breathing easier.

Sterile Nebulizer Solution: It pulls water from the wall of airways into the phlegm. This makes the phlegm thinner and
much less sticky. This makes it much easier to cough out the phlegm or mucus from the lungs.

Precautions

Eye/Ear/Nasal: Tell your doctor about your medical history, especially of heart problems (e.g., congestive heart failure), lung problems (pulmonary edema), kidney problems, low levels of potassium (hypokalemia), high levels of sodium (hypernatremia), and any allergies.

Intravenous: Serum electrolyte concentration should be carefully monitored. Sodimist should be administered with caution to patients with congestive heart failure, peripheral or pulmonary oedema, impaired renal function or pre-eclampsia. Care should also be taken when administering Sodimist intravenously to very young or elderly patients. Excessive administration should be avoided as this may result in hypokalaemia. Infusion of fluid should be immediately discontinued if rigor arises for any reason during its application. Do not use if the solution is cloudy, contains particles, or after expiry date.

Ophthalmic solution: Tell your doctor if you have history of eye problems, any allergies. As with any medication, this should be used cautiously during pregnancy or while breast-feeding. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. If the condition for which this was prescribed does not improve or becomes worse after a few days, Stop using and consult your doctor. If you miss a dose, use it as soon as remembered; do not use it if it is near the time for the next dose, instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.
