How RL Infusion works
RL Infusion is a balanced electrolyte solution that helps restore fluids and essential minerals in the body after trauma or fluid loss. Sodium Chloride maintains blood pressure and fluid balance, while Sodium Lactate helps provide energy and correct mild blood acidity. Potassium Chloride supports proper heart and muscle function, and Calcium Chloride is important for muscle movements, nerve signals, and blood clotting. Together, these components help rehydrate the body, correct electrolyte imbalances, and stabilize vital functions during short-term fluid replacement.
