Sodium Chloride 0.45% 1 L is a sterile intravenous fluid solution composed of dilute salt (sodium chloride) in water, commonly used in clinical settings to help provide hydration and electrolyte balance when oral intake is not possible or sufficient. It is a hypotonic crystalloid solution, meaning it contains a lower concentration of sodium than blood plasma, and is typically administered under medical supervision in hospitals or clinical care environments. Medicines.org.uk+1

Key Benefits

  • Supplies water and electrolytes (sodium and chloride) to support fluid balance

  • Used to maintain hydration when oral fluid intake is inadequate

  • Can assist in correction of electrolyte imbalances in appropriate clinical contexts

  • May be used as a diluent for compatible intravenous medications

  • Practical 1 L volume for controlled fluid therapy under healthcare supervision Medicines.org.uk

Active Ingredients

  • Sodium Chloride (NaCl) — 0.45 g per 100 ml (equivalent to 4.5 g per 1 L solution)

  • Provides sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions soluble in sterile water for infusion Medicines.org.uk

Other Ingredients

  • Water for injection (sterile)

  • No added bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent, or buffer — intended primarily as a hydrating and electrolyte solution Pfizer Labeling

How It Works

When administered intravenously, sodium chloride solution dissociates into sodium and chloride ions, which are essential electrolytes in the body. These ions help regulate fluid balance, nerve conduction, muscle function, and acid-base balance. The hypotonic nature of 0.45% sodium chloride means it delivers more free water relative to sodium content, which can help rehydrate cells and support fluid distribution across compartments under medical guidance.
