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

Potassium chloride + sodium lactate + sodium chloride + dextrose monohydrate + calcium chloride is a marketed multi-electrolyte intravenous crystalloid and carbohydrate solution used for parenteral replacement of extracellular fluid and electrolyte losses and as a source of water, electrolytes, and calories. It is marketed as Potassium Chloride in Lactated Ringer's and Dextrose 5% Injection and related Lactated Ringer's and Dextrose products, including by Hospira and ICU Medical. The formulation contains five active ingredients and acts through physiologic replacement rather than receptor-selective pharmacology: sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and lactate help restore extracellular fluid and electrolyte balance, while dextrose provides carbohydrate calories and lactate serves as a bicarbonate precursor with an alkalinizing effect. It is indicated as a fluid and electrolyte replacement solution and alkalinizing agent in adults and pediatric patients requiring intravenous or parenteral administration.
