dextrose

50% Dextrose Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solution of dextrose in water for injection for intravenous injection as a fluid and nutrient replenisher. 50% Dextrose Injection is indicated in the treatment of insulin hypoglycemia (hyperinsulinemia or insulin shock) to restore blood glucose levels.

dextrose

Dextrose Injection, USP solutions are sterile and nonpyrogenic. They are parenteral solutions containing various concentrations of dextrose in water for injection intended for intravenous administration. Intravenous solutions containing dextrose are indicated for parenteral replenishment of fluid and minimal carbohydrate calories as required by the clinical condition of the patient.

dextrose

10% Dextrose Injection, USP (concentrated dextrose in water) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solution of Dextrose, USP in water for injection for intravenous administration after appropriate admixture or dilution. 10% Dextrose Injection, USP (concentrated dextrose in water) in a partial-fill container is indicated for admixture with amino acids or dilution with other compatible I.V. fluids to provide a 5% final dextrose concentration for intravenous infusion in patients whose condition requires parenteral nutrition.

dextrose

50% and 70% Dextrose Injection, USP (concentrated dextrose in water) are sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solutions of Dextrose, USP in water for injection for intravenous administration after appropriate admixture or dilution. 50% and 70% Dextrose Injection, USP (concentrated dextrose in water) in Pharmacy Bulk Packages are indicated for use with automated compounding devices for preparing intravenous nutritional admixtures in the pharmacy.

dextrose

25% Dextrose Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solution of dextrose in water for injection administered by intravenous injection to restore blood glucose levels in hypoglycemia and as a source of carbohydrate calories. Each milliliter (mL) of fluid contains dextrose, hydrous, 250 mg which delivers 3.4 kcal/gram (0.85 kcal/mL). The solution has an osmolarity of 1.39 mOsmol/mL (calc.). pH is 4.5 (3.2 to 6.5). May contain hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment. 25% Dextrose Injection is indicated in the treatment of acute symptomatic episodes of hypoglycemia in the neonate or older infant to restore depressed blood glucose levels and control symptoms. Other drugs, such as epinephrine and glucagon, should be considered in patients unresponsive or intolerant to dextrose (glucose). Oral feeding of dextrose may be necessary in infants with frequently recurring hypoglycemic episodes or to prevent recurrences due to hyperinsulinemia.

dextrose

5% Dextrose Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution of dextrose in water for injection. It is administered via a thermodilution catheter for measuring cardiac output. Each mL contains dextrose, hydrous 50 mg. Osmolar concentration is 0.253 mOsmol/mL (calc). pH is 5.6 (3.5 to 6.5). The solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or addedbuffer and is intended for use only as a single-dose thermodilution agent. When smaller amounts are required the unused portion should be discarded. 5% Dextrose Injection, USP in the Thermoject System is indicated for measurement of cardiac output by the thermodilution method. Use only for Thermodilution as directed.
