Mannitol is a diuretic and dehydrating agent commonly used to treat cerebral edema, acute renal failure, and hyperosmolarity during intravenous infusion. Mannitol reduces fluid retention by increasing urinary excretion, thereby reducing intracranial pressure and renal burden. When using mannitol, close monitoring of urine output, electrolytes, and renal function is required to ensure therapeutic efficacy and safety. Common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure. Not suitable for use in patients with severe renal impairment, pulmonary edema, or known hypersensitivity to mannitol. When using mannitol, you should follow your doctor's advice and strictly control the dosage and infusion rate to avoid adverse reactions. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should consult your doctor promptly.
HOW TO USE: MANNITOL is a diuretic that is usually given by mouth or intravenously. When taken orally, it should be taken on an empty stomach or 2 hours after a meal, and sufficient drinking water is required to ensure effectiveness. When injecting, it must be carried out by medical staff and strictly follow the doctor's instructions.
Dosage Guidelines: For adults, the starting dose of oral MANNITOL is 1-2 grams 2-3 times daily, with dosage adjustments as needed. For intravenous injection, the usual starting dose is 0.5-1 g/kg, every 4-6 hours. For children, the dosage needs to be adjusted according to weight and age, and it is recommended to use it under the guidance of a physician to ensure safety and effectiveness.
While taking MANNITOL, high-sugar foods should be avoided to avoid raising blood sugar, and excessive activity should be avoided to reduce the risk of dehydration. If any adverse reactions or questions arise, a physician should be consulted immediately.
