Product Overview
10% Dextrose Injection (10% Glucose Injection) 500mL is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solution of dextrose (glucose) in Water for Injections, intended for intravenous infusion. Each 100mL of solution contains 10g of anhydrous dextrose (D-glucose), and each 500mL container delivers a total of 50g of dextrose. Dextrose is a monosaccharide and the primary physiological carbohydrate used by the body for energy production. 10% Dextrose Injection provides a more concentrated source of calories and carbohydrate than isotonic 5% dextrose solutions, and is used in situations requiring higher caloric intake in a smaller fluid volume, such as in the management of significant hypoglycemia, as a component of parenteral nutrition regimens, and for patients requiring fluid restriction but needing carbohydrate supplementation.
