Kidsol DS Injection 0.45% + 5% is an intravenous solution containing Sodium Chloride (0.45%) and Dextrose (5%), formulated to provide essential fluids, electrolytes, and energy for pediatric patients. This solution is designed to correct dehydration, maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, and supply glucose as an immediate energy source when oral intake is insufficient. The slightly higher sodium content compared to 0.225% solutions makes it suitable for children with moderate sodium losses or increased fluid requirements.

Proper hydration and electrolyte balance are critical in children, as they are more prone to fluid depletion during diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or inadequate nutritional intake. Kidsol DS Injection provides both hydration and energy support to aid recovery.

Composition

Each 100 ml of Kidsol DS Injection contains:

• Sodium Chloride 0.45 g (0.45%)

• Dextrose 5 g (5%)

• Water for injection q.s.

This combination provides sodium for maintaining extracellular fluid volume and glucose for immediate energy metabolism.

Mechanism of Action

Sodium Chloride (NaCl):

• Maintains plasma sodium levels

• Supports extracellular fluid volume and osmotic balance

• Helps regulate water distribution in the body

Dextrose (Glucose):

• Provides a readily available source of energy for cellular functions

• Supports metabolism during periods of reduced oral intake or illness

• Helps prevent hypoglycemia in pediatric patients

The combination ensures safe correction of fluid and electrolyte deficits while supplying energy to support growth and recovery.

Indications

Kidsol DS Injection 0.45% + 5% is indicated for:

• Moderate dehydration due to diarrhea, vomiting, or fever

• Maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance in pediatric patients

• Nutritional support when oral feeding is inadequate

• Postoperative fluid replacement in children

• Adjunct therapy in febrile or ill children requiring intravenous fluids

It is not intended for long-term nutrition or as the sole source of caloric intake.

Dosage and Administration

• Administer via intravenous infusion under medical supervision

• Dosage should be individualized based on the child’s age, weight, clinical condition, and ongoing fluid or electrolyte losses

• Monitor vital signs, serum electrolytes, and blood glucose during therapy

• Adjust the infusion rate according to hydration status and metabolic requirements

Proper supervision ensures safe administration and prevents complications such as fluid overload or electrolyte imbalance.

Benefits

• Corrects dehydration effectively in pediatric patients

• Provides both hydration and energy support

• Maintains sodium and fluid balance

• Supports recovery from illness or surgical procedures

• Convenient intravenous formulation for children unable to take oral fluids

Precautions

• Use with caution in patients with kidney, liver, or heart disease

• Monitor for signs of hypernatremia, hyponatremia, or hyperglycemia

• Avoid rapid infusion to prevent fluid overload or electrolyte disturbances

• Adjust therapy for children with metabolic disorders, such as diabetes or renal impairment

Possible Side Effects

Kidsol DS Injection is generally well tolerated. Potential side effects may include:

• Pain or irritation at the injection site

• Edema or fluid overload if administered too rapidly

• Electrolyte imbalance if not monitored properly

• Hyperglycemia in children with impaired glucose tolerance

Seek immediate medical attention if severe reactions occur, such as difficulty breathing, swelling, or abnormal heart rhythm.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and do not use if the solution is discolored or contains particles. Keep out of reach of children.
