Manitol and sorbitol are a combination drug commonly used to treat conditions such as cerebral edema or increased pressure in the brain. Both ingredients are sugar alcohols, which help reduce stress on the brain by increasing urine output. Manitol and sorbitol are usually given as injections, and your doctor will determine the dosage based on your patient's specific condition and needs. When using this drug, patients should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and should not change the dosage or stop using it on their own.
Using manitol and sorbitol may cause some side effects, including headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If you experience serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing or rapid heartbeat, seek medical attention immediately.
In Hong Kong, manitol and sorbitol are prescription drugs and should be used by patients under the supervision of a doctor. If there are any questions or concerns, patients should seek prompt advice from their doctor or pharmacist.
