Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Dextrose works by quickly increasing the amount of glucose in your blood. Glucose is found in foods rich in carbohydrates, such as bread, cereal, potatoes, fruit, pasta, and rice. Glucose is a source of energy, and all the cells and organs in your body need glucose to function properly.

Pharmacokinets

Dextrose in intravenous fluids undergoes oxidation to carbon dioxide and water, and quickly provides fluid and calories. Oral glucose also works quickly (usually within 15 minutes) by raising blood glucose concentrations to alleviate symptoms of hypoglycemia.
