It is hypertonic.
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.

no, It's isotonic.

If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.

In a hypotonic solution, red blood cells swell and undergo hemolysis, while in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and undergo crenation.
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
If an injected solution is hypertonic to your blood, it means that the solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the blood plasma. This would lead to water moving out of your blood cells into the surrounding hypertonic solution to balance the solute concentrations, causing the blood cells to shrink or crenate. This can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to dehydration of tissues and adverse physiological effects.
Hypertonic fluid overload is a medical condition in which there is too much fluid in a person's blood. This is caused by an increase of sodium content.
