Dextrose is a simple sugar, also known as glucose, and is one of the body's main sources of energy. In Hong Kong, dextrose is commonly used to treat low blood sugar or provide extra energy. This medication may be administered by the intravenous or oral route. In medical settings, dextrose is often given as part of an intravenous infusion to provide rapid energy support. In oral form, dextrose can be used by athletes or people who need a quick boost of energy. When using dextrose, follow the advice of your doctor or health care professional and be aware of possible side effects, such as allergic reactions or high blood sugar. Overall, dextrose is a safe and effective medication that can help restore energy levels or manage low blood sugar situations when appropriate.
Instructions for use: Dissolve the drug in water for injection and give it intravenously. Usually check that the solution is clear and free of particles before each use. Pay attention to the injection speed during use, as too fast may cause allergic reactions. It is recommended to avoid eating high-sugar foods during medication to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medication.
Dosage Guidelines: The usual starting dose for adults is 10 grams to 25 grams each time, depending on the patient's condition, and the dose can be adjusted according to blood sugar levels. The dosage for children is calculated based on body weight, generally 2.5 to 5 grams per kilogram of body weight, but it needs to be determined by consulting a physician. Dosage adjustments should be made under the guidance of a physician to ensure appropriate therapeutic effect.
Dextrose is a glucose preparation commonly used to treat hypoglycemia or provide nutritional support. Although generally safe, some people may experience side effects including dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and allergic reactions. Serious side effects include anaphylactic shock, hyperglycemia, and possible thrombosis when administered intravenously. If serious side effects occur, seek medical advice immediately. When using Dextrose, strictly follow your doctor's advice and pay close attention to your body's reaction to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Please note that the following are contraindications regarding the use of Dextrose:
1. Allergic reactions: Patients allergic to glucose should avoid using glucose injections. Allergic reactions may include redness of the skin, hives, difficulty breathing and other symptoms, and immediate medical attention is required.
2. Hyperglycemia: Diabetic patients should use glucose with caution as it may cause blood sugar to rise and increase the risk of diabetic complications. A physician should be consulted before using glucose.
3. Renal insufficiency: Patients with renal insufficiency should avoid using glucose, as glucose may place additional burden on the kidneys and aggravate the condition. Advice from a healthcare professional should be sought before undertaking glucose therapy.
4. Hepatic insufficiency: Patients with hepatic insufficiency should use glucose with caution, because the liver cannot metabolize glucose normally, which may cause glucose to accumulate in the body, burdening the liver and aggravating the condition.
The above are contraindications for the use of glucose. Please read the product instructions carefully before using glucose and follow the advice of your physician or pharmacist. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should seek professional medical advice immediately.
Precautions for use: Glucose injection should be used correctly according to medical advice. Be sure to follow dosage instructions and avoid overdose. Blood glucose levels should be closely monitored during use to avoid the risk of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. If you have any discomfort or concerns, you should seek medical advice immediately.
