Solution for infusionDextrose is involved in various metabolic processes in the body, enhances oxidation-reduction processes and improves detoxification function of the liver. Dextrose solution infusions partially correct water deficit. When dextrose enters tissues, it is phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate involved in many metabolic pathways in the body.
5% dextrose solution has a detoxifying and metabolic effect and is a source of valuable easily digested nutrient. A dextrose metabolism in tissues results in production of significant amount of energy essential for body functioning.
Hypertonic solutions (10%, 20%) increase osmotic pressure of blood, improve metabolism, increase myocardial contractivity, improve the antitoxic function of the liver, dilate blood vessels, and increase diuresis.
