Infusol Injection 5% contains Dextrose, a sterile intravenous solution used for fluid replacement and energy supplementation in patients who are unable to take adequate nutrition orally. It provides a readily available source of glucose, which is essential for cellular energy production and metabolic functions.

This solution is commonly used in hospitals for hydration support and as a vehicle for compatible intravenous medications.

Composition

Each 100 ml contains:

• Dextrose (Glucose) 5% w/v in Water for Injection

Mechanism of Action

Dextrose is rapidly metabolized in the body to produce energy in the form of ATP. It helps maintain blood glucose levels, supports cellular metabolism, and prevents catabolism (breakdown of body proteins for energy). The isotonic nature of 5% dextrose initially provides fluid replacement and later acts as a source of free water and calories.

Indications

Infusol Injection 5% is indicated for:

• Fluid and caloric replacement in dehydration
• Hypoglycemia management (mild cases)
• Maintenance fluid therapy in hospitalized patients
• Vehicle for intravenous drug administration
• Nutritional support when oral intake is not possible

Dosage and Administration

• To be administered intravenously by healthcare professionals only
• Dosage depends on patient age, weight, and clinical condition
• Rate of infusion should be carefully controlled
• Electrolyte balance should be monitored during prolonged use

Contraindications

Infusol Injection 5% should not be used in:

• Severe hyperglycemia (high blood sugar)
• Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
• Fluid overload or pulmonary edema
• Severe electrolyte imbalance without correction

Side Effects

Possible side effects include:

• Hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar)
• Fluid overload
• Electrolyte imbalance
• Local irritation at injection site
• Rare: phlebitis or infection at infusion site

Precautions

• Monitor blood glucose levels during infusion
• Use cautiously in diabetic patients
• Assess fluid and electrolyte status regularly
• Administer under sterile conditions only
• Avoid rapid infusion
