Composition

Each 100 ml contains:

• Sodium Chloride 0.9% (Normal Saline)
• Dextrose 5% (Glucose solution)

This balanced formulation supports both hydration and caloric supplementation.

Indications

Glucosal Injection is indicated for:

• Dehydration and fluid loss replacement
• Maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance
• Post-operative fluid and energy support
• Prevention of ketosis in fasting or debilitated patients
• Mild hypoglycemia support
• Hospital-based parenteral fluid therapy

Pharmacological Action

This combination works through dual mechanisms:

• Sodium Chloride (0.9%): Restores extracellular fluid volume and maintains electrolyte balance
• Dextrose (5%): Provides a readily available energy source and supports glucose metabolism

Together, they help maintain circulation, hydration, and energy balance.
