Product introduction

Intas NS 0.9% Infusion is generally administered by a doctor or a nurse in a hospital or clinical setting. It should not be self-administered at home. The dose and rate of administration are carefully calculated by the doctor based on your medical condition, body weight, and the procedure being performed. To avoid any complications, it is important to follow all pre-procedure and post-procedure instructions given by your doctor.

There is limited data on the common side effects of Intas NS 0.9% Infusion. If you experience any symptoms after receiving the injection, let your doctor know. They may be able to help prevent or treat the side effects.

Before receiving Intas NS 0.9% Infusion, inform your doctor if you have any history of calcium imbalance, kidney problems, or heart conditions. This medicine should be used with caution in patients with impaired liver function, as it is processed by the liver. Since it can lower calcium levels in the blood, your doctor may monitor your calcium levels closely and provide supplementation if required.

Uses of Intas NS Infusion

Respiratory tract disorders associated with viscid mucus
Prevention of Blood clots

Benefits of Intas NS Infusion

Prevention of Blood clots
Intas NS 0.9% Infusion is not typically used for the prevention of blood clots in the body. Instead, it is mainly used as an anticoagulant in laboratory and blood transfusion settings to prevent blood from clotting outside the body (for example, in blood collection bags or test tubes). In medical treatment, it is more commonly used for conditions like urinary tract discomfort, kidney stones (as a urinary alkalinizer), and metabolic acidosis, rather than routine clot prevention inside the body.

Side effects of Intas NS Infusion

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Intas NS Infusion

Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self-administer.

How Intas NS Infusion works

Intas NS 0.9% Infusion acts as an anticoagulant by chelating (binding to) ionized calcium in the blood. It reduces the availability of free calcium and temporarily interrupts the clotting process, preventing blood from coagulating during extracorporeal procedures like hemodialysis or blood transfusion. Once the blood is returned to the body, normal calcium levels are restored, and the clotting function resumes.

Quick tips

Intas NS 0.9% Infusion helps in thinning and removal of the mucus (slimy and sticky substance) from the airways, thereby treats various respiratory conditions.
Measure the syrup with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon.
Inform your doctor if you have suffered or are currently suffering from any stomach, liver or kidney problem.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding.
