Indications for use
-
Normosol-R is indicated for replacement of acute extracellular fluid volume losses in surgery, trauma, burns or shock.
-
Normosol-R also can be used as an adjunct to restore a decrease in circulatory volume in patients with moderate blood loss.
-
Normosol-R is not intended to supplant transfusion of whole blood or packed red cells in the presence of uncontrolled hemorrhage or severe reductions of red cell volume.
Administration and dosage
-
Normosol-R is administered by intravenous infusion. It may also be administered subcutaneously.

The amount to be infused is based on replacement of losses of extracellular fluid volume in the individual patient.
-
Up to 3 times the volume of estimated blood loss during and after surgery can be given to correct circulatory volume when there is only a moderate loss of blood.
