Mechanism of Action
Sodium chloride in water dissociates to provide sodium (na+) and chloride (cl-) ions. These ions are normal constituents of the body fluids (principally extracellular) and are essential for maintaining electrolyte balance. The distribution and excretion of sodium (na+) and chloride (cl-) are largely under the control of the kidney which maintains a balance between intake and output
