Ringer's lactate

Ringer's lactate is a balanced intravenous fluid used to treat dehydration and restore electrolyte levels in the body. It contains a mix of water, sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, and lactate, which work together to replace lost fluids and maintain proper cell function. Often administered in hospitals during surgery, injury, or illness, it helps to rehydrate patients, correct imbalances, and support overall recovery. Its composition closely mimics natural body fluids, making it an effective and safe option for fluid replacement.
