FAQ

**What is Vetivex Hartmann’s Solution?**

Vetivex Hartmann’s Solution is used to help replenish fluids and manage disorders associated with low pH in dogs, cat and horses.

**How does Vetivex Hartmann’s compare to Lactated Ringers Solution commonly sold in the United States?**

Vetivex Hartmann’s Solution has a slightly higher concentration of sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride and lactate. The osmolarity is very similar.

**Why does Vetivex Hartmann’s contain lactate?**

The addition of lactate helps address conditions of metabolic acidosis by mimicking the body’s normal level of bicarbonate ion and providing the body with a readily available source of bicarbonate. Metabolism of lactate by the liver consumes hydrogen ions and generates bicarbonate, and thus has an alkalinizing effect.

**What drugs or other fluids should not be administered through the same infusion set as Vetivex Hartmann’s?**

Just like Lactated Ringers Solution, Vetivex Hartmann’s should not be run through the same infusion set as blood products. The calcium in both Lactated Ringers Solution and Vetivex Hartmann’s can cause clotting and the possible development of microthrombi.
