Description

Dextrose Syringe 50% 50 mL is a hypertonic intravenous solution intended for use in the treatment of insulin hypoglycemia, also known as insulin shock or hyperinsulinemia. This sterile, nonpyrogenic solution consists of 50% dextrose in water. Its primary function is to rapidly raise blood glucose levels in patients suffering from acute hypoglycemia due to excessive insulin administration.

The solution is provided in a LifeShield™ Abboject™ glass syringe, which includes an 18-gauge, 1-1/2 inch needle for intravenous administration. The syringe is designed to ensure safe and precise delivery of the medication. The 50% dextrose concentration provides a rapid and effective increase in glucose levels.

This injection contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agents, or added buffers, except for pH adjustment, ensuring that the solution is safe for immediate use. The lack of preservatives makes it suitable for single-dose use only. After administration, the solution quickly helps to restore glucose levels, alleviating the symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as confusion, dizziness, and loss of consciousness.
