Neither! Ringer's solution is specifically formulated to be isotonic with the body fluids of a particular taxa (ie. mammals, reptiles, teleost fishes, etc.).
For example, a mammalian Ringer's solution (useful on everything from lab mouse tissues to human blood samples) is isotonic at an osmolarity of about 0.3 OsM.
hypertonic hypertonic
hypotonic
A medical condition caused by hypotonic (low muscle tone) is known as hypotonia. Hypotonia can result in decreased muscle strength and coordination, causing difficulties with movement and posture. It can be caused by various underlying conditions such as genetic disorders or neurological conditions.
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
Hypotonic, meaning that the solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell. This creates a concentration gradient that drives water molecules to move into the cell to balance the solute concentration.
lactated ringers
YES
The expired lactated ringers solution has been disposed of properly.
Yes, lactated ringers solution contains lactate, which can be metabolized into lactic acid in the body. In rare cases, administration of large volumes of lactated ringers solution can lead to an increase in lactic acid levels in the blood. It is important to monitor patients closely while administering lactated ringers solution.

lactated ringers
Yes, lactated Ringer's solution does have an expiration date. It is important to check the label for the expiration date and not use the solution if it has expired.
one hour
No, it is not safe to use expired lactated ringers for medical purposes. Expired medications can be ineffective or even harmful due to changes in chemical composition over time. It is important to always use medications within their expiration date to ensure safety and effectiveness.
The osmolarity of the Lactated Ringer solution is about 140 millimoles. (It has got lot of sodium, very little potassium and calcium. It has enough chloride and bicarbonate. It is designed like extra cellular fluid.)
