Mannitol Injection, USP 20%
Mannitol Injection, USP 20%, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of mannitol. It is administered intravenously to reduce intracranial pressure . The solution is hyperosmotic and exerts its effects by drawing fluids from the intracellular space into the vascular space. This elevates plasma osmolality, which in turn decreases edema formation.
- Commonly 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.
