1. What Compound Sodium Lactate is and what it is used for: Compound Sodium Lactate is a solution for supply of fluid and salts to thebody. It is supplied to you through a vein drip (an infusion).

This applies when your acid-base balance is normal or your blood is a little bit too acidic (mild acidosis) • you have lost water • you have lost water and salts • you have lost blood and need this replaced for a short time • your doctor wants to give you salts or some drugs that need to be dissolved or diluted. The recommended dosages are: Adults and adolescents Maximum daily dose: Normal fluid requirements are met with 40 ml per kg body weight per day.Your doctor may determine individual adaptation of the dose and infusion rate.

Thus the patient’s age, weight, clinical and biological (acid-base balance) conditions and concomitant therapy should be taken into account. Elderly patients: Basically, the same dosage as for adults applies, but caution will be exercised if you are suffering from further diseases like heart weakness that may frequently be associated with advanced age.Patients with burns Adults: During the first 24 hours you will receive 4 ml of solution per kg per percent burn.
