About the Product – 5% Dextrose in Lactated Ringer’s 1000mL

5% Dextrose in Lactated Ringer’s 1000mL is a sterile, non-pyrogenic IV solution combining the benefits of electrolyte replenishment and caloric support. Each 1000mL contains 5g of Dextrose along with standard components of Lactated Ringer’s solution: Sodium Chloride, Sodium Lactate, Potassium Chloride, and Calcium Chloride, mimicking the body’s plasma electrolyte composition.

This dual-purpose infusion provides hydration, electrolyte balance, and energy through dextrose, making it ideal for patients in perioperative care, trauma, burns, fluid loss, and conditions requiring caloric and electrolyte supplementation.

Formulated for intravenous administration, this solution is widely used in hospital wards, ICUs, surgical units, and emergency response settings. Each 1000mL bottle is sterile and ready to use with compatible IV infusion sets.
