Combinations of electrolyte solutions are used for intravenous fluid replacement in cases of dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and as carriers for other medications. These solutions typically contain sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, and sometimes glucose, and are widely approved for use in hospitals and emergency medicine today.
Pharmacokinetic parameters for intravenous electrolyte combinations are generally not reported for healthy adults as these solutions are primarily used for fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and are not absorbed, distributed, or eliminated via standard pharmacokinetic models. Hence, classic PK parameters such as volume of distribution and clearance are not applicable.
