2 Dosage And Administration

2.1 Important Administration Instructions

2.2 Recommended Dosage

The choice of dextrose concentration, rate and volume depends on the age, weight, clinical and metabolic conditions of the patient and concomitant therapy. Electrolyte supplementation may be indicated according to the clinical needs of the patient.

The administration rate should be governed, especially for premature infants with low birth weight, during the first few days of therapy, by the patient’s tolerance to dextrose.

Increase the infusion rate gradually as indicated by frequent monitoring of blood glucose concentrations [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].

The use of Dextrose Injection is contraindicated in patients with:

{ "type": "p", "children": [], "text": "The use of Dextrose Injection is contraindicated in patients with:" }

{ "type": "", "children": [], "text": "" }

5 Warnings And Precautions

5.1 Hyperglycemia And Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State

The use of dextrose infusions in patients with impaired glucose tolerance may worsen hyperglycemia. Administration of dextrose at a rate exceeding the patient’s utilization rate may lead to hyperglycemia, coma, and death.

Hyperglycemia is associated with an increase in serum osmolality, resulting in osmotic diuresis, dehydration and electrolyte losses [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. Patients with underlying CNS disease and renal impairment who receive dextrose infusions, may be at greater risk of developing hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state.

Monitor blood glucose levels and treat hyperglycemia to maintain levels within normal limits while administering Dextrose Injection. Insulin may be administered or adjusted to maintain optimal blood glucose levels during Dextrose Injection administration.

5.2 Hypersensitivity Reactions

Hypersensitivity and infusion reactions including anaphylaxis, have been reported with Dextrose Injection [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Stop infusion immediately and treat patient accordingly if signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction develop. Appropriate therapeutic countermeasures must be instituted as clinically indicated.

5.3 Vein Damage And Thrombosis

Peripheral administration of 5% Dextrose Injection is generally acceptable, however, consider central vein when administering more than 5% dextrose or with an osmolarity of ≥ 900 mOsm/L or when there is peripheral vein irritation, phlebitis, and/or associated pain [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. The infusion of hypertonic solutions into a peripheral vein may result in vein irritation, vein damage, and/or thrombosis. The primary complication of peripheral access is venous thrombophlebitis, which manifests as pain, erythema, tenderness or a palpable cord. Remove the catheter as soon as possible, if thrombophlebitis develops.

5.4 Hyponatremia

5% Dextrose Injection is an isotonic solution [see Description, Table 1 (11)]. In the body, however, glucose containing fluids can become extremely physiologically hypotonic due to rapid glucose metabolization. Monitoring of serum sodium is particularly important for hypotonic fluids.

Depending on the tonicity of the solution, the volume and rate of infusion, and depending on a patient’s underlying clinical condition and capability to metabolize glucose, intravenous administration of glucose can cause electrolyte disturbances, most importantly hypo- or hyperosmotic hyponatremia. Monitor serum sodium to minimize the risk of hyponatremia.

The risk for hyponatremia is increased in pediatric patients, elderly patients, postoperative patients, those with psychogenic polydipsia, and in patients treated with medications that increase the risk of hyponatremia (such as diuretics, certain antiepileptic and psychotropic medications). Close clinical monitoring may be warranted.

Acute hyponatremia can lead to acute hyponatremic encephalopathy characterized by headache, nausea, seizures, lethargy and vomiting. Patients with brain edema are at particular risk of severe, irreversible and life-threatening brain injury. Patients at increased risk for developing complications of hyponatremia, such as hyponatremic encephalopathy include pediatric patients; women, in particular, premenopausal women; patients with hypoxemia; and in patients with underlying central nervous system disease [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4, 8.5)].

Avoid Dextrose Injection in patients with or at risk for hyponatremia. If use cannot be avoided, monitor serum sodium concentrations.

Rapid correction of hyponatremia is potentially dangerous with risk of serious neurologic complications. Brain adaptations reducing risk of cerebral edema make the brain vulnerable to injury when chronic hyponatremia is too rapidly corrected, which is known as osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). To avoid complications, monitor serum sodium and chloride concentrations, fluid status, acid-base balance, and signs of neurologic complications.

High volume infusion must be used with close monitoring in patients with cardiac or pulmonary failure, and in patients with non-osmotic vasopressin release (including SIADH), due to the risk of hospital-acquired hyponatremia

5.5 Electrolyte Imbalance And Fluid Overload

Electrolyte deficits, particularly in serum potassium and phosphate, may occur during prolonged use of concentrated dextrose solutions.

Depending on the volume and rate of infusion, the intravenous administration of dextrose solutions can cause fluid and/or solute overloading resulting in dilution of serum electrolyte concentrations (including hypoosmotic hyponatremia, overhydration, congested states or pulmonary edema. The risk of dilutional states is inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentrations in the administered solution. The risk of solute overload causing congested states with peripheral and pulmonary edema is directly proportional to the electrolyte concentrations in the solution.

Avoid Dextrose Injection in patients with or at risk for fluid and/or solute overloading. If use cannot be avoided, monitor fluid balance, blood electrolyte levels, concentration of glucose, acid-base balance, correct fluid and electrolyte imbalances during prolonged parenteral therapy or whenever the condition of the patient or the rate of administration warrants such evaluation. Additional monitoring is recommended for patients with water and electrolyte disturbances that could be aggravated by increased glucose, insulin administration and/or free water load.

Patients at increased risk for developing hyponatremic encephalopathy include pediatric patients; elderly patients, women, in particular premenopausal women; patients with hypoxemia; and patients with underlying CNS disease [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4,8.5)].

5.6 Refeeding Syndrome

Refeeding severely undernourished patients may result in refeeding syndrome, characterized by the intracellular shift of potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium as the patient becomes anabolic. Thiamine deficiency and fluid retention may also develop. To prevent these complications, monitor severely undernourished patients and slowly increase nutrient intakes.

6 Adverse Reactions

The following adverse reactions associated with the use of dextrose injection were identified in clinical trials or post-marketing reports. Because these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to estimate their frequency, reliably, or to establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

7 Drug Interactions

7.1 Other Products That Affect Glycemic Control Or Fluid And/Or Electrolyte Balance

Dextrose Injection can affect glycemic control, vasopressin and fluid and/or electrolyte balance [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.4, 5.5)]. Monitor blood glucose concentrations, fluid balance, serum electrolyte concentrations and acid-base balance when using Dextrose Injection in patients treated with other substances that affect glycemic control, vasopressin or fluid and/or electrolyte balance.

8 Use In Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Appropriate administration of Dextrose Injection during pregnancy is not expected to cause adverse developmental outcomes, including congenital malformations. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with injectable dextrose solutions.

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of dextrose in human milk, the effects on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of Dextrose Injection to an infant during lactation; therefore, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Dextrose Injection and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Dextrose Injection or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4 Pediatric Use

The safety profile of Dextrose Injection in pediatric patients is similar to adults.

Neonates, especially premature infants with low birth weight, are at increased risk of developing hypo- or hyperglycemia and therefore need close monitoring during treatment with intravenous glucose infusions to ensure adequate glycemic control in order to avoid potential long-term adverse effects.

Closely monitor plasma electrolyte concentrations in pediatric patients who may have impaired ability to regulate fluids and electrolytes. In very low birth weight infants, excessive or rapid administration of Dextrose Injection may result in increased serum osmolality and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Children (including neonates and older children) are at increased risk of developing hyponatremia as well as for developing hyponatremic encephalopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].

8.5 Geriatric Use

Clinical studies of Dextrose Injection did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Elderly patients are at increased risk of developing hyponatremia as well as for developing hyponatremic encephalopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

Dextrose is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.

10 Overdosage

An increased infusion rate of Dextrose Injection or administration of dextrose solutions can cause hyperglycemia, hyperosmolality, and adverse effects on water and electrolyte balance [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.5)].

{ "type": "p", "children": [], "text": "An increased infusion rate of Dextrose Injection or administration of dextrose solutions can cause hyperglycemia, hyperosmolality, and adverse effects on water and electrolyte balance [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.5)]." }

Severe hyperglycemia and severe dilutional hyponatremia, and their complications, can be fatal. Discontinue infusion, reduce dose and institute appropriate corrective measures such as administration of exogenous insulin.

{ "type": "p", "children": [], "text": "Severe hyperglycemia and severe dilutional hyponatremia, and their complications, can be fatal. Discontinue infusion, reduce dose and institute appropriate corrective measures such as administration of exogenous insulin." }

Discontinue infusion and institute appropriate corrective measures in the event of overhydration or solute overload during therapy, with particular attention to CNS, respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

{ "type": "p", "children": [], "text": "Discontinue infusion and institute appropriate corrective measures in the event of overhydration or solute overload during therapy, with particular attention to CNS, respiratory and cardiovascular systems." }

To Add Medication:

Preparation for Administration

(Use aseptic technique)

2.3 Dosage Considerations

The choice of dextrose concentration, rate, and volume depends on the age, weight, clinical and metabolic conditions of the patient and concomitant therapy.

Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) administration rate should be based on the patient's tolerance of dextrose, especially for premature infants with low birth weight.

Increase the infusion rate gradually as needed; frequently monitor blood glucose concentrations to avoid hyperglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2), Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].

3 Dosage Forms And Strengths

{ "type": "p", "children": [], "text": "Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) is contraindicated in patients with:" }

{ "type": "ul", "children": [ "\nClinically significant hyperglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].\n", "\nKnown hypersensitivity to dextrose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].\n" ], "text": "" }

5 Warnings And Precautions

5.1 Neonatal Hypoglycemia

Neonates, especially preterm neonates with low birth weight, are at increased risk of developing hypoglycemia. Closely monitor blood glucose concentration during treatment with Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) to ensure adequate glycemic control in order to avoid potential long-term adverse effects.

5.2 Hyperglycemia And Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State

The use of Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) in patients with impaired glucose tolerance may worsen hyperglycemia. Administration of dextrose at a rate exceeding the patient's utilization rate may lead to hyperglycemia, coma, and death.

Hyperglycemia is associated with an increase in serum osmolality, resulting in osmotic diuresis, dehydration and electrolyte losses [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6), Use in Specific Populations (8.4)]. Patients with underlying CNS disease and renal impairment who receive dextrose infusions may be at greater risk of developing hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state.

Monitor blood glucose levels and treat hyperglycemia to maintain levels within normal limits while administering Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%). Insulin may be administered or adjusted to maintain optimal blood glucose levels during Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) administration.

5.3 Hypersensitivity Reactions

Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) administration [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Stop administration of Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) immediately if signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction develop. Initiate appropriate treatment as clinically indicated.

5.4 Phlebitis And Thrombosis

The infusion of hypertonic solutions into a peripheral vein may result in vein irritation, vein damage, and/or thrombosis [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. If thrombophlebitis develops, remove the catheter as soon as possible.

5.5 Hyponatremia

Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) may cause hyponatremia. Hyponatremia can lead to acute hyponatremic encephalopathy characterized by headache, nausea, seizures, lethargy, and vomiting. The risk of hospital-acquired hyponatremia is increased in younger pediatric patients, geriatric patients, patients treated with diuretics, and patients with cardiac or pulmonary failure or with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) (e.g., postoperative patients, patients concomitantly treated with arginine vasopressin analogs or certain antiepileptic, psychotropic, and cytotoxic drugs) [see Drug Interactions (7.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].

Avoid Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) in patients with or at risk for hyponatremia. If use cannot be avoided, closely monitor serum sodium concentrations, chloride concentrations, fluid status, acid-base balance, and neurologic status [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)].

5.6 Electrolyte Imbalance And Fluid Overload

Electrolyte deficits, particularly serum potassium and phosphate, may occur during prolonged use of Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%).

Depending on the administered volume and the infusion rate, Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) can cause fluid overload, including pulmonary edema.

Avoid Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) in patients at risk for fluid and/or solute overload. If use cannot be avoided in these patients, monitor fluid balance, electrolyte concentrations, and acid-base balance, especially during prolonged use. Additional monitoring is recommended for patients with water and electrolyte disturbances that could be aggravated by increased glucose, insulin administration and/or free water load.

5.7 Refeeding Syndrome

Refeeding severely undernourished patients may result in refeeding syndrome, characterized by the intracellular shift of potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium as the patient becomes anabolic. Thiamine deficiency and fluid retention may also develop. To prevent these complications, monitor severely undernourished patients and slowly increase nutrient intake.

6 Adverse Reactions

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:

7 Drug Interactions

7.1 Drugs With Effects On Glycemic Control And Electrolyte Balance

Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) can affect glycemic control, vasopressin, and fluid and/or electrolyte balance [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.5)]. Monitor patients' blood glucose concentrations, fluid balance, serum electrolyte concentrations, and acid-base balance.

Concomitant administration of Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) with drugs associated with hyponatremia may increase the risk of developing hyponatremia. Drugs associated with hyponatremia include diuretics and those that cause SIADH (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), arginine vasopressin analogs, certain antiepileptic, psychotropic, and cytotoxic drugs). Avoid use of Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) in patients receiving drugs associated with hyponatremia. If use cannot be avoided, closely monitor serum sodium concentrations during concomitant use [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].

8 Use In Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) has been used for decades during labor and delivery. Although there are a few case reports that describe adverse effects of dextrose use in other stages of pregnancy, exposure during pregnancy in general is not expected to cause major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with dextrose.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) has been used for decades and is not expected to cause harm to a breastfed infant. There are no data on the effects of Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) on levels of glucose in human milk, on the breastfed infant, or on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) is indicated in pediatric patients as a source of water and calories, and may also be used as a diluent for reconstitution of a powder or liquid drug product.

Neonates, especially premature infants with low birth weight, are at increased risk of developing hypo-or hyperglycemia. Therefore, they need close monitoring during treatment with intravenous glucose infusions to ensure adequate glycemic control in order to avoid potential long-term adverse effects.

Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) can cause imbalances in fluid and electrolytes in pediatric patients and requires close monitoring of volume status and plasma electrolyte concentrations, particularly in pediatric patients who may have impaired ability to regulate fluids and electrolytes. Pediatric patients are at increased risk for developing hyponatremic encephalopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5, 5.6)].

In very low birth weight neonates, excessive or rapid administration of Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) may result in increased serum osmolality and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) has not been studied in sufficient number of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Geriatric patients are at increased risk of developing hyponatremia and hyponatremic encephalopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the geriatric and younger adult patients. In general, the infusion rate for geriatric patients should start slow and be titrated up cautiously, reflecting their greater risk for electrolyte abnormalities and fluid overload.

Dextrose is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because geriatric patients are more likely to have impaired renal function, care should be taken in selection of infusion rate and patients should be closely monitored during Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) treatment.

10 Overdosage

A medication error resulting in a high infusion rate of Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) can cause hyperglycemia, hyperosmolality, and adverse effects on fluid and electrolyte balance [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.6)].

{ "type": "p", "children": [], "text": "A medication error resulting in a high infusion rate of Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) can cause hyperglycemia, hyperosmolality, and adverse effects on fluid and electrolyte balance [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.6)].\n" }

Severe hyperglycemia and severe dilutional hyponatremia, and their complications, can be fatal. In the event of overdosage (overhydration or solute overload) during Dextrose Injection (5% and 10%) treatment, discontinue the infusion. Institute corrective measures such as administration of exogenous insulin, and treat adverse effects on the CNS, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.6)].
