Indications

Nausea and Vomiting

Sodium Chloride + Dextrose IV Infusion is used when the body has lost both water and sodium. It supplies Dextrose as a nutrient in a Sodium Chloride medium that is isotonic to body fluid. It can also be used as a source of isotonic Sodium Chloride, or for both purposes. Solodex JR IV Infusion is used in the same situation, when there is combined water and sodium depletion. It gives Dextrose as a nutrient in an isotonic Sodium Chloride medium, or it may serve as a source of isotonic Sodium Chloride, or both. Doctors usually use it for the maintenance and replacement of fluid, electrolyte and carbohydrate in patients who can't take fluid and nutrients by mouth, for example in persistent vomiting, during and after surgery, shock or accidents.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Dosage Reference

Adults: Dose of Sodium Chloride + Dextrose is variable. It depends on the clinical condition, age and body surface area of the patient. Administration Check the infusion set and the infusion solution before use. Pull moderately to tear off the protective cover of the Eurocap, and hold the Eurocap lightly, not the bottle body. Open the flow regulator fully and hold the giving set on the top white area, not the membrane venting region. Insert the spike of the administration set into the Eurocap and fit the connector of the administration set firmly to the needle. Let the fluid flow down gradually to the needle tip, then close. Remove the protective cover of the needle. Locate the venepuncture site and clean it with an antiseptic solution, then insert the needle. Securely tape the puncture site, and securely tape the wings and tubing. Start the infusion while adjusting the drip speed.
