Description

Glucose 50% w/v is a sterile solution of anhydrous glucose in water, adjusted to a pH of 3.5-6.5 using sodium bicarbonate or hydrochloric acid. This highly hypertonic solution is vital for various medical and veterinary applications.

Indications

Glucose 50% w/v is commonly used to lower elevated cerebrospinal pressure or manage edema related to delirium tremens or acute alcoholic intoxication. It is also effective in treating severe hypoglycemia due to insulin overdose and provides concentrated calories in parenteral nutrition regimens. For veterinary use, it can be given orally (2ml/kg) to treat hypoglycemic animals or added to puppy formula for tube-fed puppies.
