Benefits and Uses of Dextrose 50%

Dextrose 50% is primarily used for:

• Rapid treatment of severe or symptomatic hypoglycemia when intravenous glucose administration is required.

• Increasing blood glucose levels in medical conditions requiring a concentrated source of carbohydrates.

• Providing a rapid source of glucose and energy in certain clinical situations, according to the physician’s assessment.

How to Use

• For intravenous injection only and must be administered under medical supervision.

• Due to its high concentration, it should be administered slowly and according to the instructions of the physician or medical team.

• Blood glucose levels should be assessed and monitored after administration, with the dose determined according to the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition.

• Do not administer intramuscularly or subcutaneously, as the high concentration may cause severe tissue damage if the solution extravasates outside the vein.

Precautions and Warnings

• Dextrose 50% should be used cautiously and under medical supervision, particularly in patients with diabetes or those at risk of blood glucose disturbances.

• Rapid administration or inappropriate doses may lead to severe hyperglycemia or hyperosmolarity.

• Proper intravenous access must be confirmed, as extravasation of concentrated dextrose solution may cause severe irritation, tissue damage, or tissue necrosis.

Storage

• Store at an appropriate temperature, away from excessive heat and freezing.

• Inspect the solution before use and ensure that it is clear and free from particles or abnormal discoloration.
