Slow-Sodium 600mg tablets are prolonged-release sodium chloride tablets designed to help maintain or restore normal sodium levels in the body. The slow-release formulation allows sodium to be released gradually, which can improve tolerance compared with immediate-release sodium supplements.
Key Features
- Each tablet contains 600mg sodium chloride (slow-release).
- Prolonged-release formulation for gradual sodium delivery.
- Suitable for patients with sodium depletion where oral sodium supplementation is required.
- Convenient pack of 100 tablets.
Indications (What it is used for)
Slow-Sodium tablets are typically used to treat or prevent sodium deficiency (hyponatraemia) in situations where dietary intake alone is not sufficient, and where a controlled-release preparation is preferred. Use only on the advice of a healthcare professional.
