Lavoisier Sodium Chloride 0.9% Solution for Infusion
TGA Section 19A approved medicine
Indication(s)
For extracellular fluid replacement and in the management of metabolic alkalosis in the presence of fluid loss, and for restoring or maintaining the concentration of sodium and chloride ions.
From the TGA -
"IV fluids are essential medicines used in hospitals for routine and critical care.
They are crucial for fluid replacement, resuscitation, and administering other medications directly into the bloodstream.
The shortage is particularly affecting multiple bag sizes of Sodium Chloride 0.9% (saline) and Compound Sodium Lactate (Hartmann’s solution) products.
The shortages are due to multiple factors including global supply limitations, unexpected increases in demand, and manufacturing issues.
To improve supply, we have approved multiple overseas-registered alternative saline fluids under section 19A of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.
We are continuing to prioritise evaluation of additional applications submitted under TGA Section 19A."
