GIVE Me More!-Normal Saline (Sodium Chloride) IV- additional fluids

Sometimes, extra fluids are added to help your body when it needs a little more support. Reasons may include:

• Hydration: To replace fluids if you’re a little dehydrated or haven’t had enough to drink.

• Circulation: To help your blood pressure stay steady and improve blood flow.

• Medication support: To make sure your IV medications are delivered safely and to keep your IV line working properly.

• Symptom relief: To help reduce tiredness, dizziness, or headache caused by low fluids.

• Doctor’s orders: Sometimes your provider recommends more fluids based on your health needs.

These fluids are safe, commonly used, and tailored to your body’s needs.
