Dexoride Injection 0.9% + 5% is a sterile intravenous infusion containing a balanced combination of Sodium Chloride and Dextrose. This dual-action solution is designed to provide both fluid and electrolyte replacement along with an immediate source of energy. It is widely used in hospital and clinical settings for the management of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and energy deficiency in patients who are unable to take fluids or nutrition orally.

Composition

Each 100 ml of solution contains:

• Sodium Chloride 0.9 g

• Dextrose 5 g

• Water for Injection BP

The solution is clear, colorless, sterile, and non-pyrogenic, making it suitable for safe intravenous administration.

Mechanism of Action

Sodium Chloride helps maintain osmotic pressure, fluid balance, and electrolyte equilibrium within the body. It plays a vital role in nerve conduction and muscle function. Dextrose is rapidly metabolized into glucose, supplying energy to body cells and helping to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Together, these components restore circulating volume, correct electrolyte deficits, and provide essential calories.

Indications

Dexoride Injection 0.9% + 5% is indicated for:

• Treatment and prevention of dehydration

• Replacement of fluids and electrolytes

• Management of hypoglycemia

• Maintenance of hydration during illness, surgery, or postoperative care

• Supportive therapy in patients with limited oral intake

• Diluent or carrier solution for compatible intravenous medications

Dosage and Administration

Dexoride Injection is administered intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The dosage, infusion rate, and duration of therapy depend on the patient’s age, body weight, clinical condition, and fluid or electrolyte requirements. Continuous monitoring of vital signs, fluid balance, and laboratory parameters is recommended during administration.

Benefits and Key Features

• Provides both hydration and energy in a single solution

• Maintains electrolyte and fluid balance

• Supports metabolic needs during illness or recovery

• Suitable for a wide range of clinical conditions

• Reliable and sterile formulation for IV use

Use in Special Populations

Dexoride Injection should be used with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus, heart failure, renal impairment, or conditions associated with sodium or fluid retention. In neonates, elderly patients, and critically ill individuals, close monitoring of blood glucose, electrolytes, and fluid status is essential. Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be based on clinical judgment and medical advice.

Side Effects

Dexoride Injection is generally well tolerated when administered correctly. However, potential side effects may include:

• Hyperglycemia

• Electrolyte imbalance

• Fluid overload

• Local irritation or infection at the infusion site

Adverse reactions are more likely with rapid infusion or excessive dosing.

Storage

Store Dexoride Injection below 25°C, protected from light. Do not freeze. Use only if the solution is clear and the container is intact. Discard any unused portion after opening.

Precautions

Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, electrolytes, and fluid balance is recommended, especially during prolonged therapy. Dexoride Injection should be administered carefully to avoid complications related to overhydration or sodium excess.
