Aventra 3% Sodium Chloride Infusion 100ml

Aventra 3% Sodium Chloride Infusion 100ml

Aventra 3% Sodium Chloride Infusion is a sterile, hypertonic saline solution containing 3g of sodium chloride per 100ml. Manufactured by Fidson Healthcare PLC, this specialized intravenous fluid is primarily used in acute clinical settings for the management of critical electrolyte imbalances.

Therapeutic Indications

Aventra 3% Sodium Chloride is indicated for:

• Severe Hyponatremia: Rapid correction of critically low blood sodium levels, especially when symptoms such as seizures or altered mental status are present.
• Cerebral Edema: Management of increased intracranial pressure following traumatic brain injury or stroke.

Why Choose Aventra 3% NaCl?

Unlike standard 0.9% Normal Saline, the 3% hypertonic concentration provides a high-osmolarity solution (approx. 1,027 mOsmol/L). The 100ml presentation allows for precise, low-volume electrolyte correction, which is crucial for patients at risk of fluid overload.

Administration & Safety

This is a high-alert medication. It must be administered intravenously under strict medical supervision, preferably via a central venous catheter. Rapid or over-correction of sodium levels can lead to serious complications like Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome (ODS). Always consult a healthcare professional before use.
