Electrodex-10
10% Dextrose & 0.225% Sodium Chloride Infusion

Description :
Electrodex-10 is a hypertonic solution which contains 10 gm dextrose and 0.225 gm NaCl in each 100 ml sterile water in PVC bag.

Uses :
In deficiency of water, nutrient and electrolytes in infants, neonates, children and adults those require low sodium content. Generally used in infants, neonates and children. Adult patient who require maximum energy and low sodium content (e.g Hypertensive and Kidney failure patient).

Dosges:
Dosage depends on age weight and severity of the patients. But generally 40-80 drops/ min. to adult and 1-2 drops/min./kg body weight to children.

Precuations :
Clinical evaluation and periodic laboratory determinations are necessary to monitor changes in fluid balance, electrolyte concentrations, and acid-base balance during prolonged parenteral therapy or whenever the condition of the patient warrants such evaluation. Significant deviations from normal concentrations may require tailoring of the electrolyte pattern, in these or alternative solutions.

Warning :
The administration of intravenous solutions can cause fluid and/or solute overload resulting in dilution of serum electrolyte concentrations, overhydration, congested states or pulmonary edema. The risk of dilutional states is inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentration. The risk of solute overload causing congested states with peripheral and pulmonary edema is directly proportional to the electrolyte

Adverse effects :
Reactions which may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration include febrile response, infection at the site of injection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis extending from the site of injection, extravasation, and hypervolemia.

Contra-indications :
Hypersensitive to Sodium & Chloride ion.

Storage :
Electrodex-10 should be stored at room temperature (25°C); however, brief exposure up to 40°C does not adversely affect the product
