Mode of actions

Dextrose and sodium chloride solutions provide the body with important electrolytes, energy (calories), and water to stay hydrated. Sodium and chloride help control the body’s acid-base balance. Dextrose is a type of sugar that gives energy. The body easily uses dextrose, which helps prevent the loss of body protein and nitrogen. It also helps the body store glycogen (a form of energy) and helps stop or prevent ketosis (a condition where the body uses fat for energy instead of sugar).

Dosage & Administration
