Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Sodium Chloride 0.90% w/v
-
Sterile Water for Injection (as vehicle)
Mechanism of Action
Normalin Injection works by restoring fluid balance and maintaining osmotic equilibrium in the body. Being isotonic, it has the same osmotic pressure as plasma, allowing it to expand extracellular fluid volume without causing fluid shifts between compartments. Sodium and chloride ions play a crucial role in maintaining hydration, nerve function, and acid-base balance.
