View full FDA label ↗Sorbitol-Mannitol Irrigation is a solution used during certain urologic surgeries, like transurethral prostate surgery, to help keep the area clear. It works by drawing fluid into the bloodstream, which helps with the procedure but can also affect how the heart and kidneys work. This medication is given directly into the bladder using special equipment, and the amount used is decided by the surgeon. It's important to know that this solution should be used carefully in patients with serious heart or kidney problems. Additionally, if you have diabetes, be aware that it can cause high blood sugar levels.
