Dexaqua DS Injection 10% is a sterile intravenous solution containing Dextrose, a readily available source of glucose used to provide energy and support metabolic needs in patients who are unable to take adequate nutrition orally. With a higher concentration of dextrose, this formulation is particularly useful in situations requiring increased caloric intake, rapid correction of low blood glucose levels, or controlled intravenous nutritional support. Dexaqua DS Injection 10% is commonly used in hospitals, emergency units, and critical care settings.

Composition

Each 100 ml of Dexaqua DS Injection contains:

• Dextrose 10 g

• Water for Injection BP

The solution is clear, colorless, sterile, and non-pyrogenic, ensuring safe administration through the intravenous route.

Mechanism of Action

Dextrose is metabolized in the body to glucose, which serves as the primary energy substrate for cellular functions. When administered intravenously, Dexaqua DS Injection 10% directly increases circulating blood glucose levels, providing immediate energy and helping to prevent or treat hypoglycemia. The water component also contributes to fluid replenishment, although this higher-strength solution is mainly intended for energy supplementation rather than simple hydration.

Indications

Dexaqua DS Injection 10% is indicated in a range of clinical conditions, including:

• Treatment of moderate to severe hypoglycemia

• Caloric supplementation in patients with increased metabolic demands

• Supportive therapy in malnourished or debilitated patients

• Short-term parenteral nutritional support

• Prevention of ketosis during prolonged fasting or illness

Dosage and Administration

Dexaqua DS Injection 10% is administered intravenously under strict medical supervision. The dosage, infusion rate, and duration depend on the patient’s age, body weight, metabolic requirements, and clinical condition. Careful control of the infusion rate is essential to avoid hyperglycemia or vein irritation. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is strongly recommended during therapy.

Key Benefits and Features

• Higher dextrose concentration for enhanced energy supply

• Rapid correction of low blood glucose levels

• Supports metabolic and nutritional requirements

• Useful in emergency and critical care situations

• Reliable and sterile formulation for IV use

Use in Special Populations

Caution is advised when using Dexaqua DS Injection 10% in patients with diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, renal dysfunction, or cardiovascular disease. In neonates, elderly patients, and critically ill individuals, frequent monitoring of blood glucose and fluid balance is necessary. Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be based on clinical need and under medical guidance.
