Drug Cards: Content Update 1.05 - Mannitol

Drugs: Mannitol

Glossary Terms: Monro-Kellie hypothesis

This update is interesting. Is Mannitol really a drug? It has no pharmacological effects after all.

The answer is - yes it is. It has physiological effects even though those these aren't receptor mediated. It's interesting stuff.

Make sure you read the dosing notes; they can be a little confusing. Always consult with local policies regarding the use of Mannitol and if you've never used it before, get expert and experienced help.
