Product Overview
About DEXTROSE INJECTION
DEXTROSE INJECTION is a sterile solution of dextrose, a type of sugar, in water for injection. It is used to provide a source of glucose for intravenous administration, typically in situations where the body's glucose levels are critically low, such as in severe hypoglycemia or during surgical procedures.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Replenishes glucose levels in the body to prevent or treat severe hypoglycemia.
- Provides a source of energy for the body during surgical procedures or in critical care situations.
- May be used as a vehicle for administering other medications or nutrients intravenously.
Active Ingredient & Action
DEXTROSE, the active ingredient in DEXTROSE INJECTION, is a monosaccharide sugar that is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream when administered intravenously. It serves as a primary source of energy for the body's cells, particularly for the brain, which relies heavily on glucose for fuel. By replenishing glucose levels, DEXTROSE INJECTION helps to restore normal metabolic function and prevent tissue damage.
Important Notes
DEXTROSE INJECTION should only be administered under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. It is essential to monitor blood glucose levels closely during and after administration to avoid hyperglycemia. The solution should be used within 24 hours of opening and any unused portion should be discarded.
