Droppers are an indispensable method of treating many diseases. The effectiveness of such drug administration exceeds any other treatment methods many times over.. But intravenous infusions of drugs are used not only for therapeutic purposes. Droppers to improve the condition of the body are useful in cases of reduced immunity and vitamin deficiency. They are made to cleanse internal organs, as well as to maintain beauty and youth.

Vitamin droppers

It is impossible to achieve an ideal balance of vitamins in the body when consuming foods.. This is prevented by several factors - insufficient amounts of vitamins supplied with food, intestinal slagging, which interferes with normal absorption, impaired functionality of the gastrointestinal tract (high acidity), in which substances are not absorbed.

With the help of a dropper, groups of vitamins can be delivered directly into the bloodstream, and from there they enter the internal organs and tissues. After such a procedure, the person’s condition objectively improves.

Indications for vitamin droppers:

• intense physical activity associated with sports or difficult working conditions;
• exhaustion of the body due to chronic diseases, old age;
• weakening and loss of strength due to malnutrition and low social status;
• internal diseases associated with a large loss of energy - chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, hepatitis, psoriasis, insomnia, migraine.

Vitamin cocktails, when administered intravenously, act at the cellular level, improving the condition of each structural unit.

Droppers with vitamins give energy, improve the functioning of skeletal muscles, and relieve muscle spasms. Therefore, they are actively used by people leading a healthy lifestyle and playing sports. After physical exercise, lactic acid is produced in the muscles, causing hypoxia (oxygen starvation). In this case, additional intake of vitamins and minerals is necessary.

Vitamin droppers contain the following substances (based on saline or glucose):

• B1 – thiamine. Concentrated in skeletal muscles, liver, kidneys, brain, participates in the metabolic processes of proteins, fats, carbohydrates.
• B2 – riboflavin. Participates in redox processes, hematopoiesis, regulates reproductive function and the activity of the thyroid gland. Necessary for the beauty of skin, hair, nails.
• PP – nicotinic acid. Participates in all chemical reactions in the body, reduces cholesterol levels, improves microcirculation in capillaries, and removes toxins from the body.
• C – ascorbic acid. Antioxidant, essential for muscle and connective tissue. Provides hormone synthesis, neutralizes cholesterol, strengthens the immune system.
• E – tocopherol. Protects all cells from oxidation, participates in protein synthesis, increases defenses, and reduces the risk of developing cancer.

Droppers for health promotion

General strengthening drips are indicated for people with chronic fatigue syndrome, before and after surgical treatment. Manipulation is also prescribed for hypoxia, chronic intoxication with alcohol or drugs. Droppers to strengthen the body are prescribed to patients with metabolic disorders, disorders of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the blood. They are prescribed for mental fatigue, frequent stressful situations, and energy depletion of the body.

To avoid such conditions, droppers to strengthen the body are prescribed not only for therapeutic purposes, but also for preventive purposes. After the procedure, the psycho-emotional state is normalized and overall well-being improves.

The advantage of a general strengthening drip is the quick and accurate replenishment of the deficiency of nutrients, microelements, and salts. This eliminates the possibility of overdose or the occurrence of side effects from internal organs, or the development of complications.

The effect of such droppers is versatile, and the volumes of administered drugs are large. Useful properties of the procedure:

• restorative – promotes cell division and rapid tissue regeneration, provides the body with energy complexes;
• detoxification – removes toxins, poisons (endogenous and exogenous) metabolic products, free radicals from the body, improves metabolic processes;
• general strengthening – delivers missing minerals, vitamins, microelements, salts, amino acids to the body;
• antianemic - saturates the blood with substances that prevent the development of anemia, lack of hemoglobin - iron, potassium, ensures the prevention of hypoxia.

Glucose dropper

Glucose is a universal remedy for many pathological conditions of the body.. Its beneficial properties are undeniable. In what cases is a glucose drip prescribed:

• saturation of the body with fluid due to dehydration or increased blood viscosity;
• restoration of normal functioning of internal organs, improvement of metabolic processes in them;
• the need to increase daily diuresis, for example, in case of poisoning;
• replenishment of carbohydrates after heavy physical activity;
• physical exhaustion, loss of strength;
• dystrophic damage to parenchymal organs (liver);
• decrease in BCC (circulating blood volume) during blood loss;
• a sharp drop in pressure, development of shock;
• hypoglycemia – decreased blood sugar levels.

Glucose is the main source of energy for the body and the only nutrient for the brain. Droppers are indicated for office workers with high mental stress and a sedentary lifestyle. They are also prescribed to the elderly, premature and low birth weight children.

For intravenous administration, use a 5% glucose solution. A single dose is a liquid in a volume of 400 ml. Once in the body, the solution breaks down into atoms of water and carbon dioxide, and energy is released.

Glucose drips are not suitable for everyone. They are contraindicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus (insulin-dependent), individual intolerance, acute mental disorders, strokes and cerebral hemorrhages, and cranial injuries.

Beauty droppers

Droppers to maintain beauty and youth today are a popular procedure in beauty salons and aesthetic medicine clinics.

Such procedures are replacing traditional methods of rejuvenation - the use of Botox injections, contour lifts and other manipulations.

The solutions for intravenous administration contain all the nutrients the body needs.. Their action from the inside ensures a quick effect, 100% absorption. The result of such aesthetic correction of appearance is not long in coming.

After beauty drips, the condition of the skin and nails improves, the hair becomes stronger and silky. The general condition becomes stable, the emotional background normalizes. This is facilitated by the complex effect of specially developed drugs.

Droppers to improve well-being and stabilize physiological processes are indicated at any age.

Long-term binge drinking is a real disaster for both a person and his loved ones. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to get out of this state without outside help. The body suffers from severe intoxication, and only another dose of alcohol can improve well-being. Only an anti-binge drip can break the vicious circle. It helps remove ethanol and its harmful metabolites from the body, relieve intoxication and eliminate the need to drink alcohol.

Intravenous administration of the drug ensures its direct entry into the blood and rapid penetration into almost all tissues. Therefore, infusion solutions are much more effective and provide a quick way out of binge drinking. They effectively eliminate the state of hypovolemia, thin the blood and remove harmful toxins from the tissues.

You can install the IV yourself, without any help. In order to perform the procedure at home, you need to purchase all the necessary drugs, a venous tourniquet and an intravenous infusion system. Which medications are best to take depends on the person’s condition and the expected result. Doses of drugs are also determined individually. A properly placed dropper will help even with long-term drinking.

It should be noted that doing the procedure at home is quite risky. There is a risk of choosing the wrong medication, injecting too much (or too little) of the dose, or even not getting into the vein. To avoid undesirable consequences, it is better to go to a drug dispensary or call a narcologist at home.

Of course, few people will want to go to hospital because they want to avoid publicity and unnecessary expenses. For them, there is an ideal solution - to install an IV at home with the help of a qualified healthcare professional. Today, many clinics and drug dispensaries offer this service. Such a solution has many advantages: a person does not need to leave home, he will be in comfortable conditions and under the constant supervision of relatives.

Indications for placing an IV

A slight hangover is not a direct indication for intravenous infusions. In this case, less radical folk methods like brine or kefir will also help. A drip is indicated for binge drinking that lasts at least several days. It is also recommended for use in cases of severe intoxication caused by one-time consumption of alcohol or a significant deterioration in health.

To understand how a drip works during long-term drinking, you need to know why a person cannot stop drinking on his own. The fact is that with prolonged consumption of large amounts of alcoholic beverages, the liver simply cannot cope with the load. Enzyme systems do not have time to process ethyl alcohol, which is why an excess amount of acetaldehyde, its intermediate metabolite, accumulates in the blood.

It is this substance that causes deterioration in a person’s well-being. Acetaldehyde causes headaches, nausea, increased heart rate and other disorders. However, after the next portion of alcohol enters the body, these symptoms disappear. This is explained by the fact that ethanol inhibits the activity of acetaldehyde. Naturally, a person drinks in order to alleviate his condition, but after some time he becomes even worse.

To get out of binge drinking, you need to stop destructive drunkenness. Therefore, a person is given medications that help relieve intoxication and remove harmful alcohol metabolic products (including acetaldehyde) from the body. Thanks to this, you feel better and there is no need to drink alcohol again.

It is quite convenient to install an IV yourself or with the help of a specialist at home. However, in some cases this is strictly prohibited. Therefore, before doing anything, you should find out what contraindications there are to the procedure.

An anti-binge drip at home is contraindicated in the following cases:

• age over 60 years;
• state of acute intoxication;
• the appearance of symptoms of alcoholic psychosis;
• the presence of severe cardiovascular diseases, bronchial asthma or diabetes;
• the duration of the binge is more than a week.

In all these cases, the person is taken out of binge drinking in a hospital setting. Naturally, such treatment will be more expensive, but it is necessary due to the high risk of complications. So in this case, it is better to go to the hospital instead of putting in IVs at home.

The drip for detoxification usually includes a number of drugs for detoxification. Sometimes vitamins, antioxidants, nootropic and metabolic agents, and hepatoprotectors are added to them. Drugs should be chosen depending on the symptoms. Before performing the procedure, it is advisable to consult a specialist. The doctor must collect anamnesis, carefully examine the person and give appropriate recommendations.

Composition of an anti-binge drip

The composition of the dropper for rapid recovery from binge drinking should include detoxifiers. Quite often, an isotonic sodium chloride solution or a 5% glucose solution is used to break out of binge drinking. In some cases, diuretics are administered along with them. However, today more effective drugs can be found on the pharmaceutical market.

Preparations for removing alcohol from the body:

• Trisol. Consists of solutions of potassium and sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, water for injection. Replenishes the volume of intravascular fluid, improves the rheological properties of blood, and corrects electrolyte balance. Trisol is very effective for intoxication, as it accelerates metabolic processes and helps to quickly cleanse the body of toxins and harmful products of alcohol metabolism;
• Reamberin. Contains a number of active ingredients: meglumine sodium succinate, potassium, magnesium and sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide. The drug has a pronounced antihypoxic, antioxidant, moderate diuretic effect. It restores the acid-base balance of the blood, protects cells from hypoxia and death.

All drugs for detoxification must be administered intravenously, at a rate of 60-90 drops per minute. It is allowed to administer from 400 to 800 milliliters of liquid per day. If the infusion is performed at home without the participation of a health care professional, then the person performing the procedure should carefully read the instructions for the medications. It is best to drip them after consultation with a specialist.

Composition of a dropper to restore the body

With prolonged consumption of alcoholic beverages, the liver is damaged, the functioning of the nervous, digestive, cardiovascular and other body systems is disrupted. In this case, medications to remove alcohol are not enough. Therefore, an intravenous drip during long-term binge drinking should include drugs that restore the normal functioning of these organs and systems.

A drip to restore the body should be made on the basis of regular saline or glucose solution. It is necessary to add drugs that are used in medicine to treat various somatic and neuropsychic diseases. They will help normalize the functioning of many organs and remove the negative consequences of alcohol consumption.

The following products can be added to the drip solution:

• Vitamins. In this case, vitamin B1 is very effective, since it is involved in the oxidation of alcohol and promotes its removal from the body. Vitamins that have an antioxidant effect are very useful: A, C, E. They protect cells from destruction and have a pronounced rejuvenating effect;
• Hepatoprotectors. This is a group of drugs that protect the liver from further damage and restore its normal functioning. Essentiale is very effective in this regard. The drug contains phospholipids that serve as a building substrate for the membranes of hepatocytes - functional liver cells;
• Nootropic drugs. They stimulate mental activity, improve memory and concentration, and increase the brain's resistance to harmful influences. Medicines help a person return to a normal way of thinking. Nootropic drugs include Piracetam;
• Glucose. As a rule, after a long binge, a person develops hypoglycemia - a decrease in blood glucose levels. This substance is a source of energy, so its lack is very harmful to the body. Doctors recommend administering glucose along with insulin, which is necessary for its normal processing and absorption.

Glucose

Instructions for use:

Prices in online pharmacies:

Glucose is an easily digestible source of valuable nutrition that increases the body's energy reserves and improves its functions.

pharmachologic effect

Glucose is used as a means for detoxification (removing toxins from the body) and rehydration (replenishing fluid losses).

An isotonic glucose solution 5% is used to replenish fluid in the body. Also, this glucose solution is a source of nutrients, the metabolism of which in the tissues releases a large amount of energy, which is necessary for the full functioning of the body.

There are also hypertonic glucose solutions (10-40%), intravenous administration of which can increase the osmotic pressure of the blood, improve metabolism and antitoxic functions of the liver, and increase the flow of fluid directed from the tissues into the blood.

In addition, the use of a hypertonic glucose solution promotes vasodilation, increased contractility of the heart muscle and an increase in urine volume.

As a general tonic, glucose is used for chronic diseases that are accompanied by physical exhaustion.

The detoxification properties of glucose are due to its ability to activate the liver’s functions to neutralize poisons, as well as a decrease in the concentration of toxins in the blood as a result of an increase in the volume of circulating fluid and increased urination.

Indications for use of Glucose solution

Glucose solution is prescribed for:

• hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels);
• carbohydrate deficiency;
• intoxications accompanying liver diseases (liver failure, hepatitis);
• toxic infections (poisoning caused by microbes entering the body with food);
• hemorrhagic diathesis (a disease of the blood system manifested in the form of increased bleeding);
• dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting or in the postoperative period;
• intoxications;
• collapse (sharp drop in blood pressure);
• shocked.

Glucose can be used to prepare solutions of drugs for intravenous administration, as well as as a component of anti-shock and blood-substituting fluids.

Glucose 5% can be introduced into the body in any way (intravenously, subcutaneously, into the rectum), since its osmotic pressure corresponds to the osmotic pressure of the blood. Hypertonic glucose solutions are administered only intravenously, since their osmotic pressure significantly exceeds that in tissues and blood.

It is recommended to increase glucose levels by oral administration (tablets) using 0.5-1 g of the drug per dose. The use of a 5% glucose solution using an enema involves the drip administration of 200 ml, 500 ml or 1000 ml of the drug at a time, while the daily dose should not exceed 2000 ml.

A 5% glucose solution can be administered intravenously (drip) or subcutaneously in a volume of 300-500 ml.

Hypertonic glucose solution can be prescribed as a single injection of 10-100 ml or drip injection of 200-300 ml (daily dose).

The use of recommended doses of glucose, as a rule, does not cause undesirable effects. In rare cases, the drug can provoke fever, hyperglycemia (increased blood glucose levels), acute left ventricular failure, hypervolemia (increased circulating blood volume), increased urine production. Local reactions of the body to the use of glucose can manifest themselves in the form of thrombophlebitis, bruising, infection, and local pain.

When using glucose 5% as a solvent for other drugs, side effects are caused by the action of these drugs.

Drug-induced increases in glucose levels can be dangerous if:

• decompensated diabetes mellitus (always high blood sugar);
• decreased glucose tolerance;
• hyperglycemia;
• hyperosmolar coma (a special type of diabetic coma);
• hyperlactic acidemia (increased levels of lactic acid in the blood in diabetes mellitus).

Caution is necessary when administering glucose solution to patients with chronic renal failure, hyponatremia and decompensated chronic heart failure.

The use of glucose during pregnancy and breastfeeding is permitted. It should be remembered that in women bearing children, the level of glucose in the urine rises, which is due to hyperglycemia and relatively insufficient insulin production. In order to prevent the development of diabetes mellitus, it is necessary to closely monitor glucose fluctuations during pregnancy.

Additional Information

Glucose should be stored at air temperatures from 15 0 C to 25 0 C. The shelf life of the drug depends on the form of release - from 2 to 10 years.

Glucose is available in the form of an isotonic solution and also in the form of a hypertonic solution. The first is needed in order to restore the functioning of our organs and to enrich the body with fluid. The second is necessary to improve metabolism and liver function, increase diuresis, dilate blood vessels, etc. it is prescribed in the form of injections, intravenously, less often intramuscularly. It is also taken in combination with other medications, and some people (athletes, for example) prefer to drink it.

Who needs glucose: indications, contraindications

Indications for the use of dextrose solution (this is another name for this drug) are quite varied.

Glucose in the form of injections or droppers is prescribed for problems such as:

• Decreased blood sugar levels (also known as hypoglycemia);
• Infections;
• Decreased pumping functions of the heart;
• Liver dystrophy and other diseases;
• Physical exhaustion;
• Poisoning with alcohol and other poisons;
• Hepatitis;
• Pulmonary edema;
• Hemorrhagic diathesis;
• Prostration;
• Blood loss;
• Pressure drop;
• some other indications

Also, a glucose drip is prescribed if you need to introduce cardiac glycosides or other medications into the body, or if you are dehydrated.

Glucose is contraindicated in diabetes mellitus and hyperglycemia, as well as overhydration, hypersmolar coma and hyperlactic acidemia. In case of heart failure and oral anuria, glucose solution can be used with caution.

Droppers

The isotonic solution is administered subcutaneously from 300 to 500 ml. Administration through enemas or drips (intravenously) is also possible. In this case, the patient should receive about 2 liters per day. solution. A five percent isotonic dextrose solution is injected using a dropper into a vein or under the skin or rectum in case of severe blood loss, dehydration or shock. In this case, you need to administer from 300-400 ml to a liter or two in 24 hours. If the solution is five percent, an instillation rate of up to 7 ml is suitable. per minute, if ten percent, the speed should be three milliliters per minute.

Other routes of administration

The isotonic solution in its pure form is administered intravenously in combination with a solution of ascorbic acid. The volume of the solution is 30-50 ml. A one percent solution of methylene blue is administered to victims of hydrocyanic acid poisoning. It is not recommended to administer glucose intramuscularly, as inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue and purulent foci may occur. Intravenous injections have the same indications as droppers, but they are prescribed if slow and gradual administration of glucose is not required and no additional drugs are needed. An injection into a vein with glucose is no different from other intravenous injections. In order for it to be successful, you need to find a “working vein” on your arm and thoroughly disinfect everything.

A hypertonic solution is administered intravenously and in combination with insulin, ascorbic acid or thiamine. It is administered in 25-50 ml doses. at once. Indications for administration are as follows.

Dextrose takes an active part in a wide variety of metabolic processes in the body. In this case, a diverse effect on tissues and organs occurs: redox reactions and processes are activated and become more intense, and liver function improves. The use of an aqueous solution of dextrose replenishes the water deficit, replenishing fluid loss.

When the drug “Glucose Solution” enters the tissue, its gradual phosphorylation occurs. The compound is converted to glucose-6-phosphate. The latter is directly involved in many stages of metabolic processes in the human body. An isotonic dextrose solution stimulates the acceleration of metabolic processes, provides a detoxification effect, while glucose supplies the body with a lot of nutrients, replenishing energy losses.

Indications for use

The drug "Glucose Solution", which is excreted through the genitourinary system, has the following indications for use:

Sudden drop in sugar levels (hypoglycemia);

A variety of infectious diseases that suppress the immune system and upset metabolism;

Decompensation processes;

Liver pathologies;

Pulmonary edema;

Increased bleeding (various and after heavy blood loss;

State of shock;

State of collapse (change (drop) in blood pressure).

In addition, the “Glucose Solution” product is prescribed to equalize the balance during use and also to replenish fluid loss.

Contraindications for use are:

Diabetes mellitus;

Hyperglycemia;

Overhydration;

Hyperosmolar coma;

Postoperative changes in glucose utilization;

Hyperlactic acidemia.

Under close medical supervision and with great caution, the drug is prescribed for diseases such as severe heart failure, anuria, oliguria, and hyponatremia.

Medicine "Glucose solution": instructions for use and dosage

The drug is in liquid form. The drug “Glucose Solution” 5% should be administered intravenously through the use of droppers, the maximum speed of which is up to 150 drops/min. The largest dose of the substance per day for adults is 2000 ml. For a 10% solution, use a dropper at a speed of up to 60 drops/min with an identical maximum daily dose of the drug. 40 glucose solution is injected into the body at a rate of up to 30 drops/min (or 1.5 ml/kg/h).

The largest daily dose for adults is 250 ml. The dosage is selected by doctors depending on the identified nature of metabolism. For example, a dose of 250-450 g/day for a normal type of metabolism can be reduced to 200-300 g for people with low metabolism.

When using glucose in medical practice and calculating its dosage, it is necessary to take into account the permissible amount of fluid introduced into the body - 100-165 ml/kg/day for children whose weight does not exceed 10 g, as well as 45-100 ml/kg/day for children weighing up to 40 kg.

Against the background of diabetes mellitus, it is undesirable. Treatment is carried out under constant monitoring of the content of this substance in the blood and urine.

The drug "Glucose solution": side effects

Thrombophlebitis may develop at the site of administration of the glucose drug. Side effects should be considered fever, hyperglycemia, hypervolemia, acute. A general deterioration in the condition of the human body is often observed.

The introduction of 4-5 units of insulin subcutaneously will ensure a more complete and effective perception of glucose by the body. Insulin should be used at the rate of 1 unit per 5 g of dextrose. The product should be used carefully in combination with other drugs. Without the prescription of a specialist, it is better not to use the drug in the treatment of a patient.

Glucose is a powerful source of nutrition that is easily absorbed by the body. This solution is very valuable for the human body, since the healing liquid has the power to significantly improve energy reserves and restore weakened performance functions. The most important task of glucose is to provide and give the body the necessary source of complete nutrition.

Glucose solutions have long been effectively used in medicine for injection therapy. But why do they drip glucose intravenously, in what cases do doctors prescribe such treatment, and is it suitable for everyone? This is worth talking about in more detail.

Glucose is a source of energy for the human body

Glucose (or dextrose) is actively involved in a variety of metabolic processes in the human body. A. This medicinal substance has diverse effects on the systems and organs of the body. Dextrose:

1. Improves cellular metabolism.
2. Reanimates weakened liver functions.
3. Replenishes lost energy reserves.
4. Stimulates the basic functions of internal organs.
5. Helps with detoxification therapy.
6. Strengthens redox processes.
7. Replenishes significant loss of fluid in the body.

When a glucose solution penetrates the body, its active phosphorylation begins in the tissues. That is, dextrose is converted into glucose-6-phosphate.

Glucose is essential for healthy cellular metabolism

Glucose-6-phosphate or phosphorylated glucose is an important participant in the main metabolic processes occurring in the human body.

Forms of release of the drug

Dextrose is produced by the pharmaceutical industry in two forms. Both forms of solution are useful for people with weakened bodies, but have their own nuances in use.

Isotonic solution

This type of dextrose is intended to restore the functioning of weakened internal organs, as well as to replenish lost fluid reserves. This 5% solution is a powerful source of nutrients essential for human life.

What is isotonic glucose solution

An isotonic solution is administered in different ways:

1. Subcutaneously. The daily volume of administered medication in this case is 300-500 ml.
2. Intravenously. Doctors may prescribe the medication intravenously (300-400 ml per day).
3. Enema. In this case, the total amount of administered solution is about 1.5-2 liters per day.

It is not recommended to administer glucose intramuscularly in its pure form. In this case, there is a high risk of developing purulent inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue. Intravenous injections are prescribed if a slow and gradual infusion of dextrose is not required.

Hypertonic solution

This type of dextrose is necessary to improve the functioning of a damaged liver and resuscitate metabolic processes. Additionally, a hypertonic solution restores normal diuresis and promotes vasodilation. Also this dropper with glucose (10-40% solution):

• increases metabolic processes;
• improves myocardial functioning;
• increases the volume of urine produced;
• promotes dilation of blood vessels;
• increases the antitoxic functions of the liver organ;
• enhances the passage of fluid and tissue into the bloodstream;
• increases the osmotic pressure of the blood (this pressure ensures normal water exchange between body tissues).

Hypertonic solution is prescribed by doctors in the form of injections and droppers. When it comes to injections, dextrose is most often administered intravenously. It can also be used in combination with other medications. Many people, especially athletes, prefer to drink glucose.

What are hypertonic solutions

The hypertonic solution, administered by injection, is diluted with thiamine, ascorbic acid or insulin. A single dose in this case is about 25-50 ml.

The medicinal power of droppers

For infusion (intravenous), a 5% dextrose solution is usually used. The healing liquid is packaged in plastic, hermetically sealed bags or 400 ml bottles. The infusion solution consists of:

1. Purified water.
2. Directly glucose.
3. Active excipient.

When dextrose enters the bloodstream, it breaks down into water and carbon dioxide, actively producing energy. The subsequent pharmacology depends on the nature of the additional drugs used that are part of the droppers.

Where is glucose used?

Why do they put in a glucose drip?

The purpose of such therapeutic treatment is carried out for many different diseases and further rehabilitation of an organism weakened by pathology. A glucose dropper is especially beneficial for health, for which it is prescribed in the following cases:

• hepatitis;
• pulmonary edema;
• dehydration;
• diabetes;
• liver pathologies;
• state of shock;
• hemorrhagic diathesis;
• internal bleeding;
• alcohol intoxication;
• general exhaustion of the body;
• a sharp decrease in blood pressure (collapse);
• profuse, persistent vomiting;
• infectious diseases;
• relapse of heart failure;
• accumulation of fluid in the pulmonary organs;
• stomach upset (prolonged diarrhea);
• exacerbation of hypoglycemia, in which there is a drop in blood sugar to a critical level.

Also, intravenous infusion of dextrose is indicated if it is necessary to introduce certain medications into the body. In particular, cardiac glycosides.

Side effects

Isotonic dextrose solution in rare cases can cause a number of side effects. Namely:

• increased appetite;
• weight gain;
• feverish conditions;
• necrosis of subcutaneous tissue;
• blood clots at the IV site;
• hypervolemia (increased blood volume);
• overhydration (violation of water-salt metabolism).

If the solution is prepared incorrectly and dextrose is introduced into the body in increased quantities, more tragic consequences can occur. In this case, an attack of hyperglycemia and, in especially severe cases, a coma may occur. Shock occurs due to a sharp increase in sugar in the patient's blood.

So, while useful, intravenous glucose should only be used when indicated. And directly as prescribed by a doctor, and procedures should only be carried out under medical supervision.
