Glucose is an important carbohydrate commonly used as a component of intravenous fluids. In Hong Kong, glucose is commonly used to treat hypoglycemia, nutritional support, and in certain surgical and emergency situations. It is a fast energy supplement that can quickly raise blood sugar levels. Glucose is also used in infusions to help maintain fluid balance and blood sugar levels.
When using glucose, it should be used according to your doctor's recommendations and dosage to avoid adverse reactions. Possible side effects include phlebitis, hyperglycemia, and electrolyte imbalance. People with diabetes or who have blood sugar control problems need to be especially careful when using dextrose.
In general, glucose plays an important role in the medical field and is a commonly used therapeutic drug, but it should be used carefully and in compliance with the doctor's instructions to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Directions for use: Dissolve the medication in an appropriate amount of water and inject it intravenously, usually under the supervision of a medical professional. When administering the drug, ensure that the injection speed is moderate to avoid adverse reactions. During use, high-sugar foods should be avoided to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medicine. Patients should avoid strenuous physical activity while taking the drug to ensure that the body can absorb the drug properly.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually 5-50 grams per intravenous injection. According to the patient's specific conditions and needs, the dose can be adjusted to a total daily dose of no more than 200 grams. For children, the dose should be determined based on age and weight. The usual starting dose is 2-10 grams per intravenous injection, and the total daily dose should not exceed 40 grams. During use, doctors will adjust the dosage according to the patient's response and condition to ensure therapeutic effect and safety. Patients should use the medication strictly in accordance with the physician's recommendations and prescriptions, and monitor regularly to ensure efficacy.
DEXTROSE is a drug commonly used to treat hypoglycemia, but it may cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, dizziness, stomachache and muscle pain. In rare cases, some people may experience allergic reactions such as itchy skin, hives, or difficulty breathing. In addition, if used excessively, it may also cause blood sugar levels to be too high, leading to diabetes-related problems. If serious side effects occur, you should stop using DEXROSE immediately and seek medical advice.

During pregnancy, use Dextrose with caution. Follow your doctor's advice and tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant before using glucose. Glucose is commonly used to treat hypoglycemia or provide intravenous nutritional support, but excessive use may pose risks to the fetus. Your doctor will appropriately control the amount of glucose used based on your situation to reduce possible risks. Do not increase or decrease your dose or stop using glucose on your own; you must follow your doctor's instructions. If you need to use glucose during pregnancy, pay close attention to any unusual symptoms and report them to your doctor promptly. Your doctor should be informed promptly of your pregnancy to ensure safe use of glucose.
