Also known as Aridol Kit, Resectisol, e421, Fraxinine, (2R,3R,4R,5R)-Hexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol, D-Mannitol, Mannite, Manna Sugar

Mannitol is a type of sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and medication. It is used as a low-calorie sweetener as it is poorly absorbed by the intestines. As a medication, it is used to decrease pressure in the eyes, as in glaucoma, and to lower increased intracranial pressure. Medically, it is given by injection or inhalation. Effects typically begin within 15 minutes and last up to 8 hours.
