Sodium chloride (NaCl). A colorless, cubic crystal or white, crystalline powder, found widely distributed over the earth, in sea water, etc., which is a necessary constituent of the body and consequently of the diet. It makes up over 90 percent of the inorganic constituents of the blood serum and is the principal salt involved in maintaining osmotic tension of the blood and tissues.

Haz-Map, Information on Hazardous Chemicals and Occupational Diseases

Sodium and chloride — major electrolytes of the fluid compartment outside of cells (i.e., extracellular) — work together to control extracellular volume and blood pressure. Disturbances in sodium concentrations in the extracellular fluid are associated with disorders of water balance.

Intra-amniotic instillation of 20% sodium chloride injection induces abortion and fetal death. Although the mechanism has not been conclusively determined, some studies indicate that the drug's abortifacient activity may be mediated by prostaglandins released from decidual cells damaged by hypertonic solutions of sodium chloride. Hypertonic sodium chloride-induced uterine contractions are usually sufficient to cause evacuation of both the fetus and placenta; however, abortion may be incomplete in 25-40% of patients. /20% injection/
