It is also used as a mixing solution (diluent) for other medications used to irrigate the body (e.g. bacitracin, polymyxin).

It may also be used as a priming fluid for haemodialysis procedures.

Pharmacology
Nasal drop: Sodium Chloride nasal drop is a non-drug, isotonic saline solution that is used to moisturize nasal membranes. This formulation provides comfort for extensive and continuous use. Sodium Chloride 0.9% nasal wash moistures inside the nose by dissolving and softening thick or crusty mucus thus helps to remove the mucus from the nose and makes breathing easier. Excess sodium is predominantly excreted by the kidneys with small amounts lost in faeces and sweat.

Nasal spray: Sodium Chloride 0.9% Nasal Spray moistens inside the nose by dissolving and softening thick or crusty mucus thus helps to remove the mucus from the nose and makes breathing easier. Excess Sodium is predominantly excreted by the kidneys with small amount lost in faeces and sweat. In babies and young children with stufy noses who cannot blow their noses, using this product helps to make the mucus easier to remove with a nasal bulb syringe. This helps relieve stufness and makes breathing easier.

Sterile Nebulizer Solution: It pulls water from the wall of airways into the phlegm. This makes the phlegm thinner and
much less sticky. This makes it much easier to cough out the phlegm or mucus from the lungs.
