Sodium Chloride and other Fluids

Hello,
How do you store your fluids (especially NaCl) to ensure the availability to the nursing units, balanced with the fact that these are prescription items and have regulations to ensure safe storage? Currently these are in our ADC's in most areas, but this accounts for the majority of our overrides so looking for ideas.
Appreciate any advice on this, Diane
