Description
Dex 5% (Dextrose 5%) 500 mL is an intravenous (IV) solution that provides a source of carbohydrate energy in the form of glucose. Dextrose is commonly used to treat or prevent hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and to provide fluid and calories to patients who are unable to consume food orally. It is often used in medical settings, such as hospitals and clinics, to support patients with a variety of conditions that may result in dehydration or low blood sugar levels.
Dextrose 5% in water (D5W) is a sterile solution that consists of 5% dextrose in water, and it is delivered intravenously. The primary mechanism of action involves the metabolism of dextrose in the body to produce energy. The glucose enters the bloodstream and is transported to cells throughout the body, where it is utilized as a primary energy source.
The solution is typically administered by healthcare professionals, with dosing determined based on the patient's clinical condition and needs.Common side effects of Dextrose 5% include vein irritation, electrolyte imbalance, or fluid overload in sensitive patients. It is important to store the solution at room temperature and avoid using it if the packaging is damaged or expired.
