Normosol-R and Plasma-Lyte A are balanced IV fluids whose salts mimic the body's own, with acetate the liver turns into bicarbonate to ease acidity; hospitals use them to replace fluid lost in surgery, trauma, burns or shock, a common alternative to saline that has been marketed since about 1979 and is available generically. Most people tolerate them well and notice only soreness or irritation where the IV goes in. Speak up at once about swelling, breathlessness, confusion or an irregular heartbeat, signs of fluid overload or an electrolyte shift; heart failure, kidney disease or liver disease call for closer monitoring. Physiolyte is a separate rinse, never put in a vein.
Clinical pearls
- If you take lithium, ask for a level check, because these fluids can make the kidneys clear it faster.
- They contain potassium, so flag ACE inhibitors, potassium-sparing diuretics, tacrolimus or cyclosporine, which can push potassium too high.
- Steroids such as prednisone, or corticotropin, add to sodium and fluid retention, so the team may choose a different fluid.
- Despite containing magnesium, Plasma-Lyte A is not meant to treat low magnesium or a severe potassium deficiency.

What Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate Is Used For
▾
These multi-electrolyte products have several supported uses, depending on the brand.
- Normosol-R pH 7.4 (IV): replaces acute fluid losses in surgery, trauma, burns or shock.
- Normosol-R pH 7.4: adjunct for moderate blood loss, to prime the infusion set when starting blood, and as a diluent for packed red blood cells.
- Plasma-Lyte A, Multiple Electrolytes pH 7.4 and pH 5.5 (IV): source of water and electrolytes, or alkalinizing agent.
- Isolyte S (IV): source of electrolytes and water for hydration, and alkalinizing agent, in adults and children.
- Physiolyte (irrigation): general irrigation, washing and rinsing.
How Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate Works
▾
The solution contains the main salts of normal body fluid in near-normal balance. It is about isotonic, meaning it has a similar concentration to body fluid. Sodium and chloride help manage fluid balance. Potassium and magnesium support cell function, nerves and muscles.
Acetate is converted by the liver into bicarbonate, giving a mild anti-acid effect. Gluconate mainly balances the charges in the solution.
Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate Dosage
▾
The IV products are given by healthcare staff using sterile equipment. The choice of product, amount, rate and duration depends on your age, weight and condition.
- Normosol-R is given by IV infusion and may also be given under the skin.
- Isolyte S is for IV use only, with frequent lab monitoring.
- Physiolyte is used for irrigation, in an amount based on the area and procedure.
Since these are given in a care setting, missed-dose rules do not apply. Follow your prescriber and the label.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For complete information on preparation before colonoscopy and administration of the dosage regimen, see full prescribing information. ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) Preparation and Administration ( 2.1 ) Administration of two doses (24 tablets) are required for a complete preparation for colonoscopy. SUTAB is supplied as two bottles each containing 12 tablets. Twelve (12) tablets are equivalent to one dose. Each SUTAB bottle contains a desiccant. Remove and discard the desiccant from both bottles the evening prior to the colonoscopy. Must consume water with each dose and an additional 32 ounces of water after each dose. Do not take other laxatives. Administer oral medications at least 1 hour before starting each dose of SUTAB. If taking tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotics, iron, digoxin, chlorpromazine, or penicillamine, take these medications at least 2 hours before and not less than 6 hours after administration of each dose. Recommended Split Dose (2-Day) Dosage Regimen ( 2.2 ) Day 1, Dose 1: On the Evening Prior to Colonoscopy: Open 1 bottle of 12 tablets. Remove and discard the desiccant. Remove and discard the desiccant from the second bottle and close the bottle. Use the second bottle for the second dose on the morning of the colonoscopy. Fill the provided container with 16 ounces of water (up to the fill line). Swallow each tablet with a sip of water and drink the entire amount over 15 to 20 minutes. Approximately one hour after the last tablet is ingested, fill the provided container a second time with 16 ounces of water (up to the fill line) and drink the entire amount over 30 minutes. Approximately 30 minutes after finishing the second container of water, fill the provided container with 16 ounces of water (up to the fill line) and drink the entire amount over 30 minutes. Day 2, Dose 2: Morning of the Colonoscopy (5 to 8 hours prior to the colonoscopy and no sooner than 4 hours from starting Dose 1): Continue to consume only clear liquids until after the colonoscopy. Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 from Day 1, Dose 1. If patients experience preparation-related symptoms (e.g., nausea, bloating, cramping), pause or slow the rate of drinking the additional water until symptoms diminish. Complete all SUTAB tablets and water at least two hours prior to colonoscopy.

Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate Side Effects
▾
Most reactions come from the solution itself or from how it is given.
Common side effects
- Fever (febrile response)
- Infection at the injection site
- Irritation or clot in the vein near the injection site (phlebitis or venous thrombosis)
- Fluid leaking out of the vein (extravasation)
- Too much fluid in the body (hypervolemia)
- Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or diarrhea (reported with potassium-containing solutions)
When to get medical help
- Signs of an allergic or infusion reaction, such as fast heartbeat, chest pain, trouble breathing or flushing. The infusion should be stopped right away.
- Swelling, or fluid in the lungs, from too much fluid
- Headache, nausea, vomiting, lethargy or seizures, which can signal low sodium (hyponatremia)
- Tingling in the hands or feet, weakness, confusion, irregular heartbeat or slow heartbeat, which can signal too much potassium
- Flushing, sweating, low blood pressure or slowed breathing, which can signal too much magnesium
Allergic reactions, fluid overload and electrolyte problems are serious. If a reaction occurs, the infusion is stopped and the patient is evaluated.
Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate Warnings and Precautions
▾
- Fluid overload: too much fluid can cause swelling and fluid in the lungs. It is a bigger concern with heart, liver or kidney problems.
- Low sodium (hyponatremia): can cause headache, nausea, seizures and brain injury.
- High sodium, potassium or magnesium: risk is higher with kidney problems, and with some medicines.
- Alkalosis and low calcium: Plasma-Lyte A can cause or worsen these.
- Allergic reactions: stop the infusion right away if signs appear.
Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate Interactions
▾
Several medicines can change how your body handles fluids and electrolytes with these solutions.
- Corticosteroids or corticotropin: sodium and fluid retention.
- Diuretics, certain antiepileptic and psychotropic medicines: higher risk of low sodium.
- Potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, tacrolimus, cyclosporine: higher risk of high potassium.
- Lithium: may be cleared faster, so levels are monitored.
- Drugs with pH-dependent kidney clearance: may be cleared faster or slower.
Interactions listed in the FDA-approved label
From the Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate prescribing information (“Drug Interactions”): what the manufacturer studied or reported to the FDA.
- Drugs associated with sodium and fluid retention (e.g., corticosteroids or corticotropin): May increase the risk of hypernatremia and volume overload. Avoid use; if use cannot be avoided, monitor serum electrolytes, fluid balance and acid-base balance.
- Medications associated with hyponatremia (e.g., diuretics, certain antiepileptic and psychotropic medications) and drugs that increase the vasopressin effect: May increase the risk of developing hyponatremia; drugs that increase the vasopressin effect reduce renal electrolyte free water excretion. Avoid use; if use cannot be avoided, monitor serum sodium concentrations.
- Lithium: Renal clearance of lithium may be increased during administration of Plasma-Lyte A. Monitor serum lithium concentrations during concomitant use.
- Products that can cause or increase the risk of hyperkalemia (potassium sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, tacrolimus, cyclosporine): Because of its potassium content, the risk of hyperkalemia may be increased. Avoid use; if use cannot be avoided, monitor serum potassium concentrations.
- Drugs with pH dependent renal elimination: Due to its alkalinizing effect (formation of bicarbonate), may interfere with elimination; renal clearance of acidic drugs may be increased and renal clearance of alkaline drugs may be decreased.

Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate Side Effects Reported to the FDA (FAERS)
After a medicine reaches the market, patients, doctors and drugmakers can send the FDA reports of problems they think may be linked to it. Here’s what’s been reported for Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate — a signal of what to watch for, not proof the drug caused it.
Source: openFDA, from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). These are voluntary reports — they don’t prove the drug caused the effect, and counts reflect how often something was reported, not how often it actually happens. Reports also often name the very problem the medicine is taken for — a common reason to file one is that the drug didn’t help — so for a pain reliever you may see “pain” high on the list; that points to why the report was filed, not to the drug causing the symptom. This counts every report that lists Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Acetate / Sodium Chloride / Sodium Gluconate in any role, so the total runs higher than the FDA’s official dashboard, which counts only cases where the drug is the suspect. For the authoritative figures, see the FDA FAERS Public Dashboard. Always talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
