Description

Dextrose Injection Solution, 50%, 500 mL, is a sterile, hypertonic intravenous solution used for the treatment of hypoglycemia or as a source of water and calories in various clinical conditions. The solution contains 50% dextrose, providing 500 mg of glucose per 1 mL, designed for patients requiring a rapid increase in blood glucose levels. 

Dextrose is a monosaccharide that can be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. It is utilized by the body to provide quick energy, especially in patients with compromised glucose metabolism or those undergoing intensive care treatments. This solution is commonly used in emergency situations or during surgical procedures where patients are at risk of hypoglycemia.

The solution is formulated without preservatives and is intended for single-use only. Careful monitoring of blood glucose levels and electrolyte balance is necessary during administration, as excessive use of hypertonic solutions can result in complications such as hyperglycemia, osmotic diuresis, and fluid overload.
