Product Details

Fdl Manitol 20% 500ml (Euro) is an intravenous solution containing mannitol, which is commonly used in medical settings to treat a variety of conditions that require the reduction of fluid accumulation. Mannitol functions by increasing the osmolarity of the glomerular filtrate, thereby hindering the tubular reabsorption of water and promoting the excretion of sodium and chloride. This mechanism helps in increasing urine output and reducing pressure in various parts of the body.

Purposes

Fdl Manitol 20% 500ml (Euro) is indicated for:

• Cerebral Edema: To reduce swelling and pressure within the brain.
• Intracranial Pressure: To lower intracranial pressure in patients undergoing neurosurgery.
• Ophthalmic Procedures: To decrease raised intraocular pressure before eye surgery.
• Acute Renal Failure: To enhance urine flow in patients with acute kidney failure.
• Toxic Material Excretion: To promote the elimination of toxic substances from the body.
• Prophylaxis of Acute Renal Failure: To prevent kidney failure in high-risk patients.

Warnings

• Continuous Monitoring: It is essential to continuously monitor the ECG, vital signs, level of consciousness, breath sounds, and urine output during the administration of Fdl Manitol 20% 500ml (Euro).
• Foley's Catheter: Ensure that the patient has a Foley’s catheter in place for proper monitoring.
