Where would you get that and what dosage

sodium chloride is table salt. If you can stand to drink it, a half tsp (teaspoon) in a glass of water is often what is recommended. Or, half that if it is easier for you to get down. But really, unless prescribed a certain dose by a qualified person, and unless that prescription comes in a tablet form (issued specifically to address your needs), you should be able to take table salt in water, or just add a few more shakes to your food.
Note that this is not qualified advice, except that I'm NOT qualified. I would ask you to consult a physician, if it's a problem with your metabolism, and ask that person if adding a bit more salt to food would help. If blood pressure rises, and you can't afford that, then you'll have to listen to a doctor advise differently.
