ICU Medical 5% Dextrose and 0.9% Sodium Chloride injection, USP solutions are sterile and nonpyrogenic. They are large volume parenteral solutions containing various concentrations and combinations of these drugs in water for injections intended for intravenous administration.
Dehydration is a common problem in hospitalized patients, and it can lead to a number of serious complications. One way to treat dehydration is with intravenous fluids, and two of the most common fluids used are dextrose 5% and 0.9% sodium chloride. These fluids are both rich in electrolytes and glucose, which help to rehydrate the body and restore its energy levels. They are also both isotonic, which means that they have the same osmotic pressure as blood. This helps to prevent fluid from leaking out of the blood vessels and into the tissues. Both dextrose 5% and 0.9% sodium chloride are widely available and relatively inexpensive, making them a popular choice for intravenous fluid therapy.
This solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or buffer and each is intended only as a single-dose injection. When smaller doses are required the unused portion should be discarded.
