----------
Mannitol Injection 20% is indicated for use as an osmotic diuretic in canine species. Mannitol is essentially inert metabolically. When given parenterally, it is freely filtered at the glomerulus which produces osmotic diuresis as more than 90% of the mannitol injected escapes reabsorption.
Mannitol USP...................................20 g
Water for Injection...........................q.s.
This solution contains 1098 m0smols/Liter
The usual canine dosage administered intravenously is 1.5 - 2.0 g per Kg body weight given over a 30 minute period. This is approximately 3.4-4.5 mL/lb of body weight.
