Can Xuesaitong injection be mixed with saline?

Generally, Xuesaitong injection refers to "Xuesaitong for injection," and saline refers to normal saline. Xuesaitong for injection can be prepared with normal saline. The specific analysis is as follows:

Xuesaitong for injection primarily contains total saponins of Panax notoginseng, which has effects such as inhibiting platelet aggregation and increasing cerebral blood flow. Normal saline is an isotonic solution whose osmotic pressure matches that of the human physiological environment. When mixed with Xuesaitong, there will be no damage to or impact on the drug's components due to differences in osmotic pressure, nor will it trigger chemical reactions between the drug and solvent, thus ensuring that Xuesaitong can exert its intended therapeutic effects properly.

Although Xuesaitong can be combined with normal saline, patients' responses should be closely monitored during administration. Due to individual differences, some patients may experience adverse reactions such as allergies. Additionally, aseptic techniques must be strictly followed when preparing the medication to prevent infusion contamination and subsequent infections caused by improper handling.

Prior to use, carefully inspect the condition of the medication to ensure it has not deteriorated or been compromised. During administration, closely monitor the patient’s response and changes in their condition. If any abnormalities or discomfort occur, discontinue the drug immediately and implement appropriate medical interventions.
