For intravenous infusion.
3 to 5 ml/kg body weight, administered over a period of maximum 15 minutes (without exceeding a rate of 1 ml/kg body weight/min). Administration of hypertonic sodium chloride should be followed by infusion of isotonic fluids in order to restore the hydration state of the interstitial space.

Contraindications: 
Hypertonic Hyperhydration; Renal insufficiency; Severe electrolyte disturbances; Uncontrolled haemorrhage; Pulmonary oedema; Retention of water and sodium chloride; Cardiac insufficiency; Hypertension; Hypertonic dehydration

Adverse reactions: 
An excess of sodium may cause hypokalaemia, which may be aggravated by the existence of continued loss of potassium and hyperchloraemia. Erroneous administration of hypertonic NaCl-Solution to dehydrated animals may increase the existing extracellular hypertonia, with aggravation of existing disorders, and may cause death. Rapid infusion may cause oedema, principally pulmonary oedema, especially in case of concurrent cardiac or renal insufficiency. After rapid administration, hypotension, arrhythmias, haemolysis, haemoglobinuria, bronchoconstriction as well as hyperventilation may occur. Administration into small peripheral veins may cause signs of pain. Infusion of hypertonic sodium chloride may provoke diuresis with formation of hypertonic urine. A risk of thrombosis should be considered.
