RinsCap Normal Saline 0.9% For Irrigation Solution

RinsCap Normal Saline 0.9% For Irrigation Solution is a sterile, ready-to-use sodium chloride 0.9% w/v solution supplied for external irrigation. It is a clear, colourless liquid with the same salt concentration as body fluids, which is why it is described as isotonic or physiological saline. The solution contains no preservatives, antibiotics or antiseptics and is made only from sodium chloride and water.

The product is supplied in a container with a twist-off cap designed for controlled pouring. The sterile fill is intended for single use, which means any solution left in the container after opening should be discarded rather than kept for later. As an irrigation solution, it is not designed for injection, infusion into a vein, or drinking, and it should not be confused with sterile saline products intended for those purposes.

RinsCap Normal Saline 0.9% For Irrigation Solution is an over-the-counter product available through DoctorOnCall as an online pharmacy serving customers in Malaysia and Singapore. Pack sizes follow the variation options shown on this page. Our pharmacist team can advise you on handling, hygiene and the correct way of using irrigation solutions before you order.

Wash and dry your hands thoroughly, and check the container before use: the seal must be intact, the solution must be clear and colourless, and there must be no leakage, particles or damage to the container. Do not use the solution if any of these checks fail.

Twist off the cap carefully without touching the inside of the cap or the rim of the container. Pour the solution gently over the area to be irrigated, keeping the nozzle clear of the skin or surface to avoid contaminating the container tip. The amount used depends on the size of the area and the instructions given by a healthcare professional.

After use, discard any remaining solution and the empty container. Do not re-cap and save the container for another day, and do not decant the solution into other bottles. Irrigate only external areas unless a healthcare professional has specifically instructed otherwise.

RinsCap Normal Saline 0.9% is not taken into the body, so a conventional dose does not apply. The volume used for irrigation depends on the size of the area being irrigated and the instructions of a doctor, nurse or pharmacist; use only as much solution as is needed.

Use a fresh, unopened container each time, because the solution is sterile only until opened. Do not exceed the volume or frequency recommended by your healthcare professional, and speak to a doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure how much to use or how often to repeat the irrigation.

Use before the expiry date printed on the container and outer packaging. Once the container is opened it should be used immediately and any remaining solution discarded, as sterility cannot be guaranteed after opening.

Store at room temperature, below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and freezing. Keep the cap on and the container in its outer packaging until you are ready to use it, and keep out of the reach and sight of children.

• Not for injection, intravenous infusion or any use inside the body unless a healthcare professional has specifically directed it.
• Not for drinking or swallowing.
• Do not use if the container is damaged, the seal is broken, or the solution is cloudy, discoloured or contains particles.
• Do not use if you know you are hypersensitive to any component of the product.

• No known interactions with other medicines when used for external irrigation.
• Do not add other medicines, antiseptics or additives to the solution, as this changes its sterility and composition.
• If a topical medicine or dressing is applied after irrigation, allow the area to dry gently first so that the product can be applied to clean skin.
• No known interactions with food or drink.

• Check the seal, clarity of the solution and the expiry date every time before opening the container.
• Wash your hands and use clean materials, such as sterile gauze, to dry the area after irrigation.
• Do not touch the tip of the container or the inside of the cap, and keep the nozzle from touching skin.
• Use a fresh container for each session and discard any remaining solution instead of saving it.
• Do not warm the container in the microwave or in boiling water; use it at room temperature unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
• Keep a spare unopened container in your home first-aid kit so you can replace one that has been opened.

Precautions: Use for external irrigation only and never for injection or drinking. Always check that the seal is intact and the solution is clear before use, and use each container once only. Wash your hands before handling and avoid touching the container tip. Do not heat the solution in a microwave or add any other substance to it. Seek advice from a doctor, nurse or pharmacist before irrigating deep wounds, wounds on the face or near the eyes, or any area where you are unsure about the correct technique. Pregnant and breastfeeding women can use sterile saline externally in the usual way, but should ask a healthcare professional if they have specific concerns.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: See a doctor or pharmacist promptly if the area being irrigated shows signs of infection, such as spreading redness, increasing pain, swelling, warmth, pus or a bad smell, or if you develop a fever. Seek medical advice if bleeding is heavy or does not stop, if the wound is deep, large or caused by an animal bite or rusty object, or if the area does not improve. Also seek help if you develop a rash, swelling or other signs of an allergic reaction after use.
