Dextrose Injection 25% w/v is a concentrated sterile solution used primarily for the rapid correction of severe hypoglycemia and as a high-calorie source in parenteral nutrition. It is administered in conditions requiring immediate glucose replenishment, such as insulin shock or in patients unable to consume food orally.
Dextrose (glucose) is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, where it is taken up by body cells and metabolized to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s main energy source. The high concentration delivers a quick surge of glucose to restore blood sugar levels and support vital cellular metabolism.
