Aventra 3% Sodium Chloride Infusion 500ml

What is Aventra 3% Sodium Chloride Infusion? Aventra 3% Sodium Chloride Infusion is a high-concentration hypertonic saline solution manufactured by Fidson Healthcare PLC in Nigeria. Unlike standard 0.9% Normal Saline, this "Aventra drip" is a specialized, high-alert medication used primarily in intensive care units (ICU) and emergency medical settings. It is formulated to provide a high concentration of sodium and chloride (513 mEq/L each) for critical electrolyte management. Key Uses and Medical Indications Healthcare professionals prescribe this hypertonic solution for specific life-threatening conditions where rapid fluid or electrolyte correction is required:

Severe Hyponatremia: Rapidly correcting dangerously low blood sodium levels. Cerebral Edema: Reducing brain swelling and managing increased intracranial pressure after traumatic brain injury or stroke. Osmotic Therapy: Utilizing a concentration gradient to manage fluid shifts in critical care patients.

Safety and Administration Due to its high osmolarity (~1,027 mOsmol/L), Aventra 3% is classified as a high-alert medication. It must be administered under strict medical supervision, typically through a central venous line, to prevent irritation to peripheral veins. Continuous monitoring of serum electrolytes is mandatory during treatment to prevent complications like Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome (ODS). How much is Aventra 3% Infusion in Nigeria?
