A medication error resulting in a high infusion rate of Dextrose Injection (25%) can cause hyperglycemia, hyperosmolality, and adverse effects on fluid and electrolyte balance [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.4)].

Severe hyperglycemia and severe dilutional hyponatremia, and their complications, can be fatal. In the event of overdosage (overhydration or solute overload) during Dextrose Injection (25%) 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 (5.1, 5.4)].

Dextrose, USP is chemically designated D-glucose monohydrate, (C₆H₁₂O₆ • H₂O), a hexose sugar freely soluble in water, with the following structural formula:

Water for Injection, USP is chemically designated H₂O. The molecular weight of dextrose (D-glucose) monohydrate is 198.17.

Dextrose Injection, USP (25%) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solution of dextrose in water for intravenous injection.

Each milliliter (mL) of fluid contains 0.25 grams of dextrose, hydrous, which delivers 3.4 kcal/gram (0.85 kcal/mL). The solution has an osmolarity of 1.39 mOsmol/mL (calculation) and the pH range is 3.2 to 6.5. May contain hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment.

The solution contains no bacteriostatic, antimicrobial agent or added buffer (except for pH adjustment) and is supplied in a single-dose Ansyr™ Plastic Syringe.

Dextrose is derived from corn.

Dextrose Injection (25%) 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, and 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) and Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].

Avoid Dextrose Injection (25%) 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 (5.4)].

Dextrose Injection (25%) is indicated for the treatment of acute symptomatic episodes of hypoglycemia in pediatric patients from birth up to 2 years of age.

Dextrose Injection (25%) can increase the risk of developing hypo- or hyperglycemia in neonates, especially preterm neonates with low birth weight. Excessive or rapid administration of Dextrose Injection (25%) may also result in increased serum osmolality and increase the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in very low birth weight neonates [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Monitor plasma electrolyte concentrations closely in pediatric patients who may have impaired ability to regulate fluids and electrolytes. Pediatric patients treated with Dextrose Injection (25%) are at increased risk of developing hyponatremia and hyponatremic encephalopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4, 5.5)].

Dextrose Injection (25%) is not indicated in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.

Dextrose Injection (25%) is contraindicated in patients with:

• •
  Intracranial or intraspinal hemorrhage because Dextrose Injection (25%) can worsen cerebral edema by causing a fluid shift across the blood-brain barrier.
• •
  Severe dehydration because of the potential to worsen the patient’s hyperosmolar state.
• •
  Known hypersensitivity to dextrose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

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

• •
  Hyperglycemia and Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
• •
  Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
• •
  Phlebitis and Thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
• •
  Electrolyte Imbalance and Fluid Overload [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
• •
  Hyponatremia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]

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

• •
  Administration site conditions: blister, extravasation, phlebitis, erythema, pain, vein damage, thrombosis
• •
  Immune system disorders: anaphylaxis, angioedema, bronchospasm, chills, hypotension, pruritis, pyrexia, rash
• •
  Cardiovascular disorders: cyanosis, volume overload

The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of dextrose have not been fully characterized.

Dextrose is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.

The recommended initial dose of Dextrose Injection (25%) is 250 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg (1 mL/kg to 2 mL/kg). If clinically indicated, additional single doses of Dextrose Injection (25%) 250 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg (1 mL/kg to 2 mL/kg) may be administered.

Select the appropriate infusion rate based on the age, weight, and clinical and metabolic conditions of the patient.

Dextrose Injection (25%) is indicated for the treatment of acute symptomatic episodes of hypoglycemia in pediatric patients from birth up to 2 years of age.

Dextrose restores blood glucose levels and provides a source of carbohydrate calories.

Injection:

• •
  25% (2.5 g/10 mL) (250 mg/mL) of dextrose hydrous, in a clear, colorless solution in a single-dose Ansyr™ Plastic Syringe

Dextrose Injection (25%) is hypertonic (has an osmolarity greater than 900 mOsm/L) and may cause phlebitis and thrombosis at the site of injection. If thrombophlebitis occurs, remove the catheter as soon as possible.

Administer Dextrose Injection (25%) via slow intravenous injection into a central vein to reduce the risk of phlebitis and thrombosis. Ensure that the needle is well within the lumen of the vein and that extravasation does not occur. If thrombosis occurs, stop administration of Dextrose Injection (25%) and initiate corrective measures. If central venous access cannot be obtained in these pediatric patients, consider using an alternative commercially available dextrose product with a lower concentration.

Do not administer Dextrose Injection (25%) subcutaneously or intramuscularly.

Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with Dextrose Injection (25%) administration [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Stop administration of Dextrose Injection (25%) immediately if signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction develop. Initiate appropriate treatment as clinically indicated.
