Ringolact.1000ml

Description

Ringolact-D Infusion is a sterile combination of electrolytes and dextrose, formulated to restore and maintain fluid balance in the body. It is used in situations where dehydration, electrolyte loss, or fluid imbalance occurs. The lactate component produces a metabolic alkalinizing effect, helping to correct acid-base disturbances.

How It Works

The infusion supplies essential electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride while dextrose provides energy. Sodium lactate functions as a buffer, converting into carbon dioxide and water while consuming hydrogen ions, which helps maintain the body’s acid-base equilibrium.

Indications

• Hypovolemia caused by severe diarrhea or vomiting

• Trauma and burns

• Heat illness and dehydration due to excessive sweating

• Pre-, intra-, and post-surgical fluid management

Dosage

The exact dose and infusion rate must be determined by a healthcare professional based on patient condition and fluid/electrolyte status.

Usage & Safety

• For intravenous use only

• Electrolytes and fluid balance should be monitored during treatment

• Continuous ECG monitoring may be required

Side Effects

• Fluid overload

• Congestive heart failure (especially in predisposed patients)

When Not to Use

• Patients with congestive heart failure

• Patients with renal failure

Precautions

• Use with caution in patients with heart failure, severe liver damage, or those on sodium-restricted diets due to its sodium content.

Warnings

1. Caution in patients with hypertonic dehydration, alkalosis, or impaired lactic acid metabolism.

2. Continuous ECG monitoring recommended during infusion.

3. Avoid mixing with citric acid-added blood or solutions containing phosphoric or carbonic acid due to risk of calcium precipitation.

Pregnancy

Consult a doctor before use.

Storage

Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of children’s reach.

Doctor’s Review

Dr. Imran Qureshi (Consultant Internal Medicine):
“Ringolact-D Infusion is designed to replenish fluids and electrolytes while providing an alkalinizing effect through sodium lactate. It combines electrolyte replacement with energy support from dextrose, making it useful in maintaining balance during dehydration, trauma, or surgical procedures. Its role is functional in restoring equilibrium, but its administration requires careful monitoring due to possible cardiac and renal considerations.”
