FRUTODEX WATER 500ML

About

Frutodex Water 500ML is an intravenous solution meticulously formulated to provide essential carbohydrates and free water, serving as a vital source of hydration and metabolic energy. This solution typically contains a blend of dextrose (glucose) and fructose. Dextrose is a primary and readily available energy substrate for cellular metabolism throughout the body, crucial for maintaining normal physiological functions. Fructose also contributes to the caloric supply and can be metabolized for energy, offering an alternative or supplementary carbohydrate source. This combination is particularly valuable for patients who are unable to consume adequate fluids or nutrients orally, or those requiring supplemental energy to prevent catabolism and maintain fluid balance, thereby supporting overall patient recovery and well-being in various clinical scenarios.

Uses

• Fluid replacement and hydration.
• Provision of caloric support.
• Treatment of hypoglycemia.
• Maintenance of electrolyte balance (when combined with other solutions).

Directions For Use

Administer intravenously as directed by a healthcare professional. The rate and volume of infusion depend on the patient's clinical condition and fluid requirements.

Benefits

• Provides immediate energy source.
• Helps maintain hydration.
• Replenishes fluid deficits.
• Supports metabolic processes.
• Useful in various clinical settings.
• Prevents ketosis in fasting states.

Side Effects

• Hyperglycemia
• Hypoglycemia (upon abrupt cessation)
• Fluid overload
• Electrolyte imbalance
• Injection site pain
• Phlebitis
• Fever
• Chills
• Allergic reactions (rare)
• Peripheral edema
• Glycosuria
• Rebound hypoglycemia

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Not directly relevant as it's an IV solution; however, alcohol consumption can affect blood sugar levels, which should be monitored.
• Pregnancy - Use with caution and under medical supervision; monitor blood glucose levels closely to avoid maternal and fetal hyperglycemia.
• Breastfeeding - Generally considered safe when medically indicated; monitor the mother's fluid and electrolyte balance.
• Liver - Use with caution in severe liver impairment as fructose metabolism may be affected; monitor blood glucose and lactate levels.
• Kidney - Use with caution in severe kidney impairment due to the risk of fluid overload and electrolyte disturbances; monitor renal function.
• Lung - Use with caution in patients with pulmonary edema or conditions predisposing to fluid overload, as it can exacerbate respiratory distress.
