Dextrose, Sodium Chloride

Dextrose and Sodium Chloride Injection is a sterile solution containing two essential substances: dextrose and sodium chloride. Dextrose, also known as glucose, is a simple sugar that serves as a primary source of energy for the body’s cells. Sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, is an electrolyte that helps maintain the body’s fluid balance and supports various physiological functions.
This combination medication is primarily used in intravenous (IV) therapy to replenish glucose and electrolyte levels in patients experiencing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or dehydration. It can also be administered to patients undergoing surgery or those requiring temporary support for their nutritional needs.
Dextrose and Sodium Chloride Injection is available in various concentrations, allowing healthcare professionals to tailor the treatment to the specific needs of each patient. The solution is typically administered through a vein over a specific period, ensuring the body absorbs the necessary nutrients and electrolytes while minimizing the risk of side effects.
