D10 (10% Dextrose) Intravenous Infusion Solution - 500ml Bottle
Severe hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar) caused by insulin overdose or starvation is a medical emergency that can rapidly induce coma or permanent brain damage. D10 Infusion Solution provides immediate, concentrated systemic energy. Delivering twice the glucose load of standard D5 fluids (10 grams per 100ml), it rapidly raises blood glucose levels in unconscious patients and provides essential calories for those unable to tolerate oral feeding.
How to Use / Operate
For clinical administration by healthcare providers only. Connect to a sterile IV infusion set and administer intravenously into a central or large peripheral vein. Infusion rates must be strictly calculated and monitored by a physician.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is D10 Infusion used for?
It is an IV fluid used in hospitals to treat severe hypoglycemia, provide carbohydrate calories to malnourished patients, and manage alcohol intoxication emergencies.
Why is it used instead of D5?
D10 is a hypertonic solution used when a patient requires a rapid, higher concentration of glucose without receiving excessive volumes of free water.
Important Clinical Considerations
Rapid infusion of hypertonic dextrose can cause osmotic diuresis, leading to severe dehydration. Must be infused cautiously into large veins to prevent vein inflammation (phlebitis). Do not administer simultaneously with whole blood.
