The infusion should ideally be warmed to approximately 37°C prior to administration.
Recommended doses are in the range 4-8 ml/kg, and an infusion rate of 1 ml/kg/minute should not be exceeded.

Adverse reactions
An excess of sodium may cause hypokalaemia, which may be aggravated by the existence of continued loss of potassium and hyperchloraemia.
Erroneous administration of sodium to dehydrated animals may increase the existing extracellular hypertonia, with aggravation of existing disorders, and may cause death.
Rapid infusion may cause oedema, principally pulmonary oedema, especially in cases of concurrent cardiac or renal insufficiency. After rapid administration, hypotension, arrhythmias, haemolysis, haemoglobinuria, bronchoconstriction as well as hyperventilation may occur.
Administration into small peripheral veins may cause signs of pain.
Infusion of hypertonic sodium chloride may provoke diuresis with formation of hypertonic urine.
A risk of thrombosis should be considered.
