Pedisol DS Injection is a sterile intravenous fluid containing Sodium Chloride and a higher concentration of Dextrose. It is designed to provide effective fluid replacement, electrolyte balance, and enhanced caloric support in patients who require increased energy supplementation. This formulation is commonly used in hospital settings for dehydration, post-operative care, and patients with reduced oral intake.

Composition

• Sodium Chloride 0.225% w/v
• Dextrose 10% w/v

Indications

Pedisol DS Injection is indicated for:

• Moderate dehydration requiring fluid and energy support
• Post-operative recovery and nutritional support
• Maintenance fluid therapy in hospitalized patients
• Electrolyte imbalance with energy deficit
• Patients with inadequate oral intake
• Supportive therapy in medical and surgical conditions

Mechanism of Action

• Sodium Chloride helps restore extracellular fluid volume and maintains electrolyte balance.
• Dextrose 10% provides a higher caloric supply, which is metabolized into glucose to support cellular energy production.

Together, they ensure hydration while meeting increased energy requirements in debilitated or recovering patients.

Dosage and Administration

• Administered intravenously under strict medical supervision.
• Dosage and infusion rate are determined based on patient condition, age, weight, and clinical requirements.
• Should be administered using sterile techniques in a controlled hospital environment.
• Continuous monitoring of fluid balance, electrolytes, and blood glucose is recommended.

Benefits

• Provides effective fluid and electrolyte replacement
• Supplies higher energy (caloric) support
• Useful in post-operative and debilitated patients
• Helps manage dehydration with nutritional deficiency
• Supports faster recovery in hospitalized patients

Side Effects

Pedisol DS Injection is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects include:

• Hyperglycemia (due to high dextrose content)
• Fluid overload if improperly administered
• Electrolyte imbalance
• Local irritation at injection site
• Edema in susceptible patients
