Mannitol Injection, USP 20%
Mannitol Injection, USP 20%, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of mannitol. It is administered intramuscularly to treat dehydration. The solution is hyperosmotic and exerts its effects by drawing electrolytes from the intracellular space into the vascular space. This elevates plasma osmolality, which in turn decreases edema formation.
- Frequently used for treating conditions such as: glaucoma, cerebral edema, and oliguria.
- Always make sure to the solution is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
