Description
Dextrose Sdv 50% 50mL is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solution of dextrose in water for injection, provided in a single-dose glass flip-top vial. This solution is intended for intravenous administration and serves as a fluid and nutrient replenisher. It is free from bacteriostats, antimicrobial agents, and added buffers, except for pH adjustment.
The primary use of 50% Dextrose Injection, USP is in the treatment of insulin-induced hypoglycemia, also known as hyperinsulinemia or insulin shock. By restoring blood glucose levels quickly, dextrose helps to alleviate symptoms such as confusion, weakness, and loss of consciousness, which can be life-threatening without prompt treatment.
Administered intravenously, the solution allows for fast absorption and immediate effects. It is critical for healthcare providers to monitor the patient’s response and adjust the dose as necessary. The solution must be administered with caution to avoid hyperglycemia or fluid overload, especially in patients with compromised kidney function or heart conditions.
