Cerebral edema (accumulation of excessive fluid in the brain)

Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.

Chemitol Injection is a combination of two medicines: Glycerin and Mannitol which treat increased pressure in the skull/brain. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic which draws water out of tissues in the brain and decreases swelling around the brain. Addition of Glycerin prevents the swelling from coming back which may possibly occur with plain Mannitol.

Q: What if you forget to take this medicine?
A:

Chemitol Injection is used for the treatment of cerebral edema (swelling in the brain).

The heart rate and health of the patient should be carefully evaluated before administering Chemitol Injection.

Urinary output, fluid balance, central venous pressure, and electrolyte balance (in particular serum sodium and potassium levels) should be carefully monitored.

In Cerebral edema (accumulation of excessive fluid in the brain)

Symptoms of brain swelling (cerebral edema) include headache, dizziness, nausea, numbness or weakness, loss of coordination or balance, loss of the ability to see or speak, seizures (fits), memory loss, incontinence, or altered level of consciousness. Chemitol Injection decreases brain volume by decreasing overall water content in the brain. This helps to reduce the accumulation of excessive fluid in the brain. It helps to relieve these symptoms effectively within a short duration of time and prevents further complications.
