dextrose monohydrate + sodium chloride + sodium lactate + potassium chloride

A sterile intravenous crystalloid combination containing **dextrose monohydrate, sodium chloride, sodium lactate, and potassium chloride**. This product is essentially a potassium-containing dextrose-lactated Ringer's solution used for **parenteral replacement of extracellular fluid and electrolyte losses**, and as a source of **water, electrolytes, and minimal calories**. Its pharmacologic effect is non-receptor-mediated: sodium and chloride help restore extracellular volume and electrolyte balance, potassium chloride replenishes potassium, dextrose provides carbohydrate calories, and sodium lactate is metabolized to bicarbonate, contributing an **alkalinizing** effect. It is used clinically in adults and pediatric patients when intravenous fluid, electrolyte, and limited caloric support are required.
