Pharmacological Action

Dextrose is a simple sugar that serves as a primary energy source for body cells. When administered intravenously, it is rapidly metabolized to provide immediate calories. The 5% dextrose solution is isotonic at the time of infusion and helps replenish body fluids while supplying energy.

Once infused, dextrose is quickly utilized, leaving free water that distributes throughout intracellular and extracellular compartments, aiding in hydration. This makes it particularly useful for patients with fluid deficits and increased metabolic needs.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and rate of infusion of Acme's Dextrose Injection 5% depend on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and metabolic requirements. Administration should be carried out under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals. Continuous monitoring of blood glucose levels and fluid status is recommended, especially in critically ill patients.

• For intravenous use only under medical supervision.

• Use with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus, renal impairment, or congestive heart failure.

• Excessive or rapid administration may lead to hyperglycemia, fluid overload, or electrolyte imbalance.
