Description
Dextrose 10% in Sterile Water 250 mL IV Bags, 24/Case
A Dextrose 10% Injection, USP is a Dextrose in water solution for intravenous infusion. Each Dextrose 10% Injection, USP contains 10 grams Dextrose Monohydrate in 100 mL of solution (100 mg/mL). The pH is between 4.5 and 7.0. The Dextrose 10% in water may be used to treat a diabetic insulin reaction, to increase blood sugar, to increase urine output, and as an irrigating solution. Oncotic pressure exerted by Dextrose 10% in Sterile Water 250 mL IV bags helps to maintain blood volume and prevents blood to escape from vascular spaces into tissues. This oncotic pressure gradient opposes the osmotic intra-vascular fluid shift caused by the administration of dextrose, which would otherwise draw fluid from the intravascular space into the necrotic or contused tissue. Dextrose 10% in Sterile Water 250 mL IV bags helps minimize the overall fluid requirements and promotes resolution of inflammation.
