intracranial pressure, and improve renal function. An expected therapeutic
effect of mannitol is weight loss resulting from diuresis.


Increased intraocular pressure
An indication for the use of mannitol is increased intraocular pressure.
Mannitol decreases the intraocular pressure by creating an osmotic
