Sodium chloride in this infusion provides sodium and chloride ions at a concentration close to that of the body's own fluids. When given into a vein, it adds fluid to the bloodstream, helps replace fluid lost from the body and supports a normal balance of fluid and electrolytes.

Must not be used in patients with severe fluid overload or pulmonary oedema. Check with a doctor first in patients with a high sodium level in the blood (hypernatraemia): use requires clinical assessment, as isotonic saline may be used initially when restoring circulating volume and the fluid choice afterwards should be guided by the patient's sodium level and clinical condition. Check with a doctor first in patients with kidney disease, heart failure or high blood pressure. Check with a doctor first in patients with oedema or those on a sodium-restricted diet.
