GLUCOSE 4% SODIUM 0.18% IV BAG 500ML AHB1253

A combination of glucose and sodium chloride infusion is used as a source of energy and for maintenance and replacement of body-fluid. It can be used alone or in combination with an injectable nutrient supplement in patients who are unable to take fluids and nutrients by mouth. The glucose component provides a source of engery. The sodium chloride component corrects the patient's salt imbalance, leading to prevention of dehydration (the loss of too much water from the body). An optimum level of salts in circulation is essential for life and good health. Thus, the Glucose and Sodium Chloride IV Infusion is used to provide energy and restore and maintain fluid and salt levels in patients where these are depleted.
