sodium chloride + magnesium chloride + sodium acetate anhydrous + sodium gluconate + potassium chloride

sodium chloride + magnesium chloride + sodium acetate anhydrous + sodium gluconate + potassium chloride is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, isotonic intravenous electrolyte solution used for fluid and electrolyte replacement. Marketed under brand names including Normosol-R and Plasma-Lyte A, it is designed to approximate the principal ionic composition of normal human plasma and is used to replace acute extracellular fluid losses, including in surgery, trauma, burns, shock, and moderate blood loss. Its pharmacologic effect is not receptor-mediated; rather, it expands the extracellular fluid compartment and replenishes sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, acetate, and gluconate ions. Acetate and gluconate function as bicarbonate precursors that help buffer acid-base status. It is an inorganic salt combination product developed and manufactured by companies including Pfizer and Baxter for hospital intravenous use.
