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

A sterile **intravenous crystalloid electrolyte and carbohydrate solution** containing sodium chloride, sodium lactate, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, and dextrose monohydrate. Marketed as **Lactated Ringer's and Dextrose** and described in labeling such as **Lactated Ringer's and 5% Dextrose Injection**, it is used for **fluid and electrolyte replacement**, as an **alkalinizing agent**, and as a **source of water, electrolytes, and calories** in adults and pediatric patients requiring parenteral support. The product does not act through a single discrete molecular target; instead, it systemically expands extracellular fluid volume, supplies sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and metabolizable lactate, and provides dextrose calories. It is a marketed hospital infusion product associated with Hospira.
