Indications
Hartmann's Solution is used to treat hypovolemia (low blood volume) caused by surgery, haemorrhage and trauma. It can also correct fluid loss that may lead to typical hypovolemic shock, such as excessive sweating, severe diarrhoea or vomiting, excess loss of fluid by nephritic kidneys, and inadequate intake of fluid and electrolytes. Severe plasma loss caused by intestinal obstruction, burns or other denuding conditions of the skin may also be treated with Hartmann's Solution. Mainly, it works as a fluid and electrolyte replenisher. It may be used as an alternative to Sodium Bicarbonate in the treatment of metabolic acidosis associated with dehydration, and to alkalinize urine.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Hartmann's Solution falls under Pregnancy Category C. No animal reproduction studies have been done with Lactated Ringer's Irrigation. It's also not known whether the solution can harm the fetus when given to a pregnant woman, or whether it can affect the ability to reproduce. So it should be given to a pregnant woman only if it is clearly needed.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
