Sodium Lactate Injection in AVIVA

Sodium Lactate Injection, USP, 50 mEq (5 mEq/mL) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, concentrated solution of sodium lactate (sodium lactate injection in aviva) in Water for Injection for additive use only after dilution by intravenous route as an electrolyte replen-isher and systemic alkalizer. It should not be administered undiluted.

Sodium lactate (sodium lactate injection in aviva) is chemically designated as propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-,monosodium salt and has the following structural formula:

CH3CH(OH)COONa

C3H5NaO3               112.1

A 60% aqueous solution is miscible in water.

Each mLcontains: Sodium lactate (sodium lactate injection in aviva) anhydrous 560 mg (5 mEq each of Na+ and lactate anion); Water for Injection q.s. Hydrochloric acid and/ or sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment.

The solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer. The osmolar concentration is 10 mOsmol/mL (calc.). When diluted with Sterile Water for Injection to make a 1/6 molar solution, the pH of sodium lactate (sodium lactate injection in aviva) solution lies between 6.0 and 7.3.

Adverse effects of sodium lactate are essentially limited to overdosage of either sodium or lactate ions. See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS.
