    Drug Study of Mannitol RMC

    Uploaded by

    Adrian Ardamil
    Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic used to treat acute renal failure, cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, and as a urinary tract irrigant. It works by increasing glomerular filtration and inhibiting water reabsorption in the kidneys. Common side effects include dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and neurological effects such as headache and confusion. Nurses monitor patients for signs of fluid overload or dehydration and electrolyte disturbances when mannitol is administered.
