Jeil Physiological Saline Injection

Adult administration

Sodium chloride is typically administered subcutaneously, intravenously, via infusion, or rectally in amounts of 20 to 1,000 mL. The dosage and infusion rate should be adjusted appropriately according to age, weight, and symptoms.

This medication should be handled very carefully during cutting of the glass container, as glass fragments may mix with the solution, especially when used for children or the elderly to avoid contamination with glass particles. This medication should not be administered to patients with hypernatremia, patients with excessive body fluid, and patients with cirrhosis who have edema and ascites. Patients with heart or circulatory dysfunction, impaired kidney function, low blood protein levels, and abnormal sodium or potassium levels should use this medication with special caution. If administered in large quantities or rapidly, side effects such as heart failure, edema, acidosis, and electrolyte imbalance may occur. Infection, pain, thrombosis, or phlebitis may occur at the injection site, so caution is required during administration. If any adverse reactions occur, administration should be stopped immediately, and the patient’s condition should be evaluated, receiving appropriate treatment, and if necessary, the remaining solution should be kept for testing. During treatment, the patient's fluid status, electrolyte concentration, and acid-base balance should be monitored regularly to closely observe any changes in condition. The container of this medication is made from PVC material that includes a plasticizer called DEHP, which can affect reproductive development in animal experiments, but exposure in humans is minimal and poses little risk. Therefore, the risks associated with not using this medication are far greater than the risks from DEHP exposure, making it safe for use. Particularly in the elderly, body function may be reduced, so careful attention is needed in adjusting the infusion rate and dosage. Before administration, check for color changes or precipitates in the solution, and ensure the patient's skin and injection equipment are thoroughly disinfected. In cold seasons, warm the solution to body temperature before use, and any remaining medicine should be discarded immediately after opening or mixing with other drugs.

Serious side effects

Congestive heart failure, edema, acidosis, and serum electrolyte abnormalities may occur.

Mild side effects

Fever, injection site infection, localized pain or reactions, venous irritation, thrombosis or phlebitis extending from the injection site, extravasation, or overhydration may occur.

This medication should be stored in a sealed container to prevent air and moisture from entering, and it is safe to store it at room temperature between 1 degree Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius.
