dextrose monohydrate + sodium lactate + potassium chloride + sodium chloride + calcium chloride

Dextrose monohydrate + sodium lactate + potassium chloride + sodium chloride + calcium chloride is a sterile intravenous crystalloid combination solution marketed as Lactated Ringer's and Dextrose, including 5% dextrose presentations. It is a **small-molecule and inorganic salt parenteral fluid therapy** used as a source of water, electrolytes, and calories, and as an alkalinizing agent for replacement of extracellular fluid and electrolyte losses in adult and pediatric patients. The formulation supplies sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, lactate, and dextrose; dextrose provides carbohydrate calories, while lactate is metabolized to bicarbonate and helps support acid-base balance. The product has been marketed by Hospira and ICU Medical as an intravenous injection solution for fluid and electrolyte replenishment rather than as a biologic or target-directed therapeutic.
