the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sodium chloride Baxter Viaflo is used to treat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>fluid loss (dehydration)<\/li><li>loss of&nbsp;sodium<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Situations that can cause sodium chloride and fluid loss can be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>when you can not eat or drink normally due to illness or after surgery<\/li><li>excessive sweating caused by high fever<\/li><li>extensive skin detachment that can occur in severe burns.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sodium chloride Baxter Viaflo can also be used to give or dilute other infusion drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you get Baxter Viaflo Sodium Chloride<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Sodium Chloride Baxter Viaflo if you have any of the following conditions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>abnormally high levels of chloride in the blood (&nbsp;hyperchloraemia&nbsp;).<\/li><li>abnormally high levels of&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;in the blood (&nbsp;hypernatremia&nbsp;).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If any medicine is added to Sodium Chloride Baxter Viaflo, the package leaflet of the added medicine should be considered to determine if you can get the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you have or have had any of the following medical conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>any type of heart disease or impaired heart function<\/li><li>renal impairment<\/li><li>for acidic blood (&nbsp;acidosis&nbsp;)<\/li><li>abnormally large blood volume in the blood vessels (&nbsp;hypervolemia&nbsp;)<\/li><li>high&nbsp;blood pressure<\/li><li>accumulation of fluid under the skin, especially at the ankles (peripheral&nbsp;edema&nbsp;)<\/li><li>fluid accumulation in the lungs (&nbsp;pulmonary edema&nbsp;)<\/li><li>&#8211; liver disease (eg&nbsp;cirrhosis&nbsp;)<\/li><li>high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;during pregnancy (&nbsp;preeclampsia&nbsp;)<\/li><li>increased production of the&nbsp;hormone&nbsp;et&nbsp;aldosterone&nbsp;(aldosteronism)<\/li><li>any other condition associated with sodium retention (when the body retains too much&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;), such as treatment with&nbsp;steroids&nbsp;(see also below \u201cOther medicines and Sodium Chloride Baxter Viaflo\u201d).<\/li><li>if you have a disease or condition that causes high levels of&nbsp;vasopressin&nbsp;, a&nbsp;hormone&nbsp;that regulates the body&#8217;s fluid balance.&nbsp;You may have too much&nbsp;vasopressin&nbsp;in your body, e.g.&nbsp;if:- you had an&nbsp;acute&nbsp;and serious illness- you suffer from pain- you have had surgery- you have an&nbsp;infection&nbsp;, burn or disease in the brain- you have a disease that is linked to the heart, liver, kidneys or&nbsp;central nervous system- you are taking certain medicines (see also below \u201cOther medicines and Sodium Chloride Baxter Viaflo\u201d).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This can increase the risk of low sodium levels in the blood and can cause headaches, nausea, seizures, listlessness,\u00a0coma, swelling of the brain, and death.\u00a0Swelling of the brain increases the risk of death and brain damage.\u00a0The following people are at higher risk of developing swelling of the brain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; children<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; women (especially of&nbsp;childbearing potential&nbsp;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; people who have problems with fluid balance in the brain, e.g.\u00a0due to\u00a0meningitis, skull bleeding, or brain damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor will take blood and urine samples when the\u00a0infusion\u00a0is given to monitoring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>the amount of fluid in your body<\/li><li>general condition<\/li><li>the amount of salt e.g.&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;and&nbsp;potassium&nbsp;in your blood (plasma electrolytes).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially important for babies and premature babies because their immature kidney function allows them to accumulate too much\u00a0sodium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor will consider if you are already receiving nutrition as&nbsp;an infusion&nbsp;(nutrition given in a tube into a vein).&nbsp;During long-term treatment with Sodium Chloride Baxter Viaflo, you may need extra nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Sodium Chloride Baxter Viaflo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must tell your doctor if you are taking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>corticosteroids&nbsp;(anti-inflammatory drugs).&nbsp;These drugs can cause the body to accumulate&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;and water, which can lead to&nbsp;tissue&nbsp;swelling due to fluid accumulation under the skin (&nbsp;edema&nbsp;) and high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;(&nbsp;hypertension&nbsp;).<\/li><li>lithium (used to treat mental illness).<\/li><li>Some medicines affect the&nbsp;hormone&nbsp;et&nbsp;vasopressin&nbsp;and may include:- diabetes medication (chloropropamide)- Cholesterol drugs (clofibrate)- certain cancer drugs (vincristine, ifosfamide, cyclophosphamide)- selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (used to treat depression)- antipsychotics-&nbsp;opioids&nbsp;(used to treat severe pain)- medicines that relieve pain and \/ or&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;(non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (&nbsp;NSAIDs&nbsp;))- medicines similar to or enhancing the effect of&nbsp;vasopressin&nbsp;such as desmopressin (used to treat increased thirst and urination), terlipressin (used to treat esophageal bleeding) and&nbsp;oxytocin&nbsp;(used to initiate labor)-&nbsp;antiepileptics&nbsp;(carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine)-&nbsp;diuretics&nbsp;(diuretics).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sodium chloride Baxter Viaflo with food and drink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should consult your doctor
