What does it do?

Lactated Ringer's solution is a medication used to maintain the fluid and electrolyte balance within the body. It is primarily administered as a fluid replacement to improve dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. This component helps with fluid replacement and maintaining acid-base balance.

Lactated Ringer's solution is broken down in the body into lactate and sodium ions to replenish fluids and electrolytes. Lactate is converted into energy in the liver, and sodium contributes to regulating the osmotic pressure of body fluids and acid-base balance. This normalizes the state of fluids and electrolytes in the body.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike simple sodium supplements, Lactated Ringer's solution contains lactate, which also helps regulate acid-base balance. It is characterized by the fact that lactate is utilized as energy in the body compared to other fluid solutions. This allows for simultaneous management of both electrolyte and acid-base status.
