My goal is to prepare a specific IV solution for research purposes. The 500ml IV solution must contain the following: Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C) - 50-100grams N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) - 10grams Inosine - 8grams Calcium Gluconate - 500mg-1000mg Ambroxol - 800mg Those are the active ingredients. I have already read online material such as this: http://www.orthomed.com/civprep.htm The above URL refers to "lactated Ringer's" and "edetate disodium," if these elements are unnecessary I would like to forego using them. I'm looking for someone to teach me exactly how to prepare this assuming no prior medical knowledge. I have a source for 500ml iv bags containing sterile water. I also have sources for Sodium Ascorbate (http://www.nutri.com/wn/wn-pl.html), Inosine (http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00140.html) and Calcium Gluconate (http://www.myvitanet.com/cagl7ozponow.html). Obviously, my preference would be to just cut open top of the IV bag containing the 500ml of sterile water and dump in the Sodium Ascorbate, NAC, Inosine, Calcium Gluconate, Ambroxol, and mix it up. However, I have read about osmolarity and pH for iv solutions, and I assume these must be of importance. However, I'm not sure how to calcuate these nor do I understand how important these are. An explanation using simple, non-technical terms would be helpful. |

There some important problems whith your question, and I doubt that anyone is going to provide an official answer to your question, as what you are doing seems to be quite dangerous. I am not trying to attack you personally, but I think that you should seriously reconsider what you are proposing. The problems of pH and osmolarity are the least of your worries. Essentially, if you do not understand the ramifications of mixing IV solutions, you should not be administering them to people (or animals, for that matter). You could cause infections through unsterile procedure (cutting open the bag and dumping the stuff in, ferchrissakes?!), electrolyte imbalances (Calcium Gluconate), allergic reactions, reactions to the chemicals that you're administering (Ambroxol and Inosine), not to mention unknown problems from mixing these things together in a bag. What you are proposing is dangerous, unethical (insofar as giving this solution to people or animals is potentially harmful or fatal), certainly illegal, and generally speaking a bad idea. Please do not do this! I realize that many people are excited about the potential benificial effects of various herbs, "natural substances", chemicals, and so on, but you can't just mix them up and drip them into a vein to find out what happens! |
