Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic used to reduce intracranial and intraocular pressure and to promote diuresis in various clinical situations. It is approved and commonly used in hospital settings, particularly for treating cerebral edema, acute renal failure prevention, and high intraocular pressure.
Pharmacokinetic parameters are reported for healthy adults after intravenous administration.
