Plasma Volume Substitute (Intravenous Fluid)
Last reviewed June 2026
Who is this for?
Isoplasma is a sterile intravenous (IV drip) solution that works as a plasma volume substitute — it helps replace lost body fluids and expand the volume of blood plasma when someone has lost a lot of blood or fluids.
Restores intravascular volume by expanding plasma compartment through colloidal osmotic pressure, maintaining circulating blood volume and tissue perfusion in states of acute hypovolemia and shock.

This is not a tablet — it is given as an IV drip (infusion into your vein) by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic. The amount and speed of the drip depends on how much fluid you have lost and your condition. Do not attempt to use this at home without trained medical personnel.
Since this drug is given by medical professionals in a hospital through a drip, missed doses are not really applicable. Your doctor or nurse will monitor and adjust the infusion as needed.
This is a hospital-only product — never try to administer IV fluids at home without a trained health professional. Only use products from registered pharmacies or hospitals, not from roadside sellers or unverified sources. If you notice the solution looks cloudy or the packaging is damaged, do not use it.
Since this is an IV fluid given in a hospital, your doctor will manage interactions. However, it is important to tell your doctor about any medications you are currently taking, especially blood pressure drugs or blood thinners, as the extra fluid volume can affect how those drugs work.
