Description

Dex 5% 1000mL with Lactated Ringer’s Solution is an intravenous (IV) fluid commonly used in medical settings for hydration and electrolyte replenishment. This sterile and balanced solution combines 5% dextrose with lactated Ringer's to support fluid and nutrient requirements during various clinical conditions. The product is presented in an Excel® flexible plastic bag, which is designed for durability and ease of use during administration.

The dextrose component provides a source of calories, offering 5 grams of glucose per 100mL to aid in energy production and cellular function. Lactated Ringer’s solution contains essential electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride, in concentrations similar to those found in blood plasma.

This solution is typically used in cases of dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and mild metabolic acidosis, as well as for fluid maintenance during surgery or recovery. Its isotonic composition ensures compatibility with the body’s natural fluid balance, reducing the risk of complications like fluid overload or imbalances.
