sodium lactate + potassium chloride + sodium chloride + calcium chloride + dextrose

Sodium lactate + potassium chloride + sodium chloride + calcium chloride + dextrose is a marketed intravenous crystalloid combination solution known as Lactated Ringer's and 5% Dextrose Injection. It is a **small molecule electrolyte and carbohydrate replacement product** used as a source of water, electrolytes, and calories and as an alkalinizing agent in adults and pediatric patients. The solution replenishes extracellular fluid and electrolytes, provides dextrose as a limited caloric substrate, and supplies lactate, which is metabolized to bicarbonate and can help buffer metabolic acidosis. Publicly described products have been developed and manufactured by Hospira, and the product is used clinically for parenteral replacement of extracellular fluid and electrolyte losses when intravenous support is needed.
