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.

10% Dextrose in Sterile Water 250 mL IV Bag Solution is a medical solution used for intravenous (IV) therapy to provide hydration and nourishment to the body. It is a mixture of 10% dextrose (a form of sugar) and sterile water.
Dextrose is a type of sugar that the body uses for energy. When it is injected into the bloodstream, it is easily broken down by the body to produce glucose, which is the primary source of energy for cells. In IV therapy, dextrose is used to provide an immediate energy source to the body when the person is unable to eat or drink due to illness or surgery.
Sterile water is used as the solvent to dilute the dextrose and make it easier for the body to absorb. It also contributes to hydration by replacing fluids lost through sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea.
When the 10% dextrose in sterile water solution is infused into the body through an IV, it circulates in the bloodstream and is quickly transported to cells throughout the body. The cells use the dextrose to produce energy, while the water helps to maintain the body's fluid balance. This helps to prevent or treat dehydration, which can be dangerous if left untreated.
Overall, the 10% dextrose in sterile water solution works by providing a source of energy and hydration to the body, helping to support vital bodily functions and promote healing and recovery.

FAQs about Dextrose IV Bags
  • What is Dextrose in an IV Bag?

    Dextrose is a medically purified form of glucose (a natural sugar), commonly used in IV infusions to quickly restore blood sugar levels, provide necessary calories, and rehydrate patients. In an IV bag, dextrose is diluted with sterile water, available in various concentrations (5%, 10%, 50%), and safely delivered directly into the bloodstream for immediate effect.

  • Can dextrose 10% be given peripherally?

    Yes, dextrose 10% can be administered through a peripheral IV line for short-term use. However, higher concentrations could require central venous access due to the risk of vein irritation.

  • Can a pregnant woman take dextrose water?

    Dextrose water IV is often used safely in pregnancy, particularly in cases of dehydration or during labor, but always under a doctor’s supervision to prevent complications like fluid overload or blood sugar disturbances.

  • Can you give normal saline and dextrose together?

    Absolutely. Normal saline and dextrose IV fluids can be administered sequentially or simultaneously (as in Dextrose Normal Saline – DNS solution) to maintain electrolyte and glucose balance during treatment.

  • What IV fluid is best for dehydration?

    For moderate dehydration, normal saline or dextrose saline (DNS) are typically recommended. For hypoglycemia or energy needs, dextrose solution provides fast metabolic benefits.

  • Is dextrose and saline the same thing?

    No. Dextrose IV delivers glucose for cellular energy, while saline restores electrolytes and water balance. Combined, they address both needs in one infusion (as in DNS bags).

  • How fast to push IV dextrose?

    The IV dextrose drip rate depends on the patient’s condition and concentration used. For emergency hypoglycemia, dextrose 50% may be given in a slow IV push (over 2-5 minutes). Lower concentrations (e.g., D5W) are infused at standard maintenance rates.

  • What are the side effects of dextrose IV?

    Potential side effects include: Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) Fluid overload Vein irritation/phlebitis Electrolyte imbalances Allergic reaction (rare) Always monitor blood sugar and electrolytes during therapy.

  • How does dextrose affect labor?

    Administering dextrose in labor helps prevent low blood sugar and provides energy but should be used judiciously to avoid excessive fetal insulin response (potential for neonatal hypoglycemia).

  • Is dextrose the same as glucose?

    Dextrose is a form of glucose (D-glucose), so they are functionally the same for most medical uses.

  • When should you not use dextrose?

    Avoid dextrose IV in: Allergy to corn or dextrose Hyperglycemia, diabetes (unless treated closely) Severe dehydration with electrolyte imbalances (without correction) Intracranial/intraspinal hemorrhage Consult a physician for contraindications.

  • What medications are not compatible with dextrose?

    Some key drug-Dextrose incompatibilities include: Ceftriaxone (especially in neonates) Certain antibiotics Amphotericin B Phenytoin Always check compatibility charts before co-infusion.
