Any chemical substance that produces physical or emotional changes through its chemical action is called drug.

Fluid replacement helps to balance fluid and electrolyte in the body. Thus, IV fluids are administered to correct dehydration, such as

  • Isotonic IV fluids include normal saline
  • 5% dextrose solutions dissolved in water
  • Lactated Ringer's solutions.

Normal saline: It contains 0.9 % sodium chloride 

It is used to replace extra cellular fluid in case of dehydration, hypovolemia, sepsis, and metabolic alkalosis.
