active substance: glucose; 1 ml of solution contains 50 mg of glucose monohydrate (in terms of 100% substance); excipient: water for injections.
Pharmaceutical form
Solution for infusions.
Main physical and chemical properties
Colorless or slightly yellowish transparent liquid.
Pharmacotherapeutic group
Blood substitutes and perfusion solutions. ATC code V05CX01.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
A 5% glucose solution is isotonic to plasma and, when administered intravenously, replenishes the volume of circulating blood, serves as a source of nutrients when lost, and also helps to remove toxins from the body. Glucose provides substrate replenishment of energy expenditures. With intravenous injections, it activates metabolic processes, improves the antitoxic function of the liver, enhances the contractile activity of the myocardium, dilates blood vessels, and increases diuresis.
Pharmacokinetics
After administration, it is quickly distributed in the body tissues. Excreted by the kidneys.
Clinical characteristics
Indications
- Hypertonic and isotonic dehydration;
- in children to prevent disturbances of water-electrolyte balance during surgical interventions;
- intoxication;
- hypoglycemia;
- as a solvent for other compatible solutions of medicinal products.
Contraindications
The 5% glucose solution is contraindicated in patients with:
- hyperglycemia;
- hypersensitivity to dextrose.
The preparation should not be administered simultaneously with blood products.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions
When used concurrently with thiazide diuretics and furosemide, their ability to affect glucose levels in serum should be taken into account. Insulin facilitates the entry of glucose into peripheral tissues. The glucose solution reduces the toxic effect of pyrazinamide on the liver. The administration of a large volume of glucose solution contributes to the development of hypokalemia, which increases the toxicity of concurrently used digitalis preparations. The glucose solution is incompatible with aminophylline, soluble barbiturates, hydrocortisone, kanamycin, soluble sulfonamides, and cyanocobalamin.
Special instructions
The preparation should be used with great caution in patients with intracranial and intraspinal hemorrhages.
With prolonged intravenous use of the preparation, monitoring of blood sugar levels is necessary.
To prevent the occurrence of hypo-osmolar plasma, a 5% glucose solution can be combined with the administration of an isotonic sodium chloride solution.
When administering large doses, insulin can be prescribed subcutaneously at a dose of 1 IU per 4-5 grams of glucose if necessary.
The contents of the bottle can only be used for one patient. After the bottle or container is opened, the unused portion of the contents should be discarded.
