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

Potassium chloride + sodium lactate + sodium chloride + dextrose monohydrate + calcium is a marketed intravenous crystalloid and carbohydrate combination solution corresponding to Lactated Ringer's and Dextrose and the potassium-containing presentation Potassium Chloride in Lactated Ringer's and Dextrose. It is used for parenteral fluid and electrolyte replacement and as a source of water, electrolytes, and calories, with sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, lactate, and dextrose collectively restoring extracellular fluid composition and energy supply. Sodium lactate serves as an alkalinizing precursor because it is metabolized to bicarbonate, helping buffer metabolic acidosis, while dextrose provides carbohydrate calories and the electrolyte salts replenish deficits. Public labeling attributes these products to ICU Medical and Hospira, and the drug is administered as a single-dose intravenous injection solution in adults and pediatric patients.
