Dextrose Injection, USP is sterile, non-pyrogenic solutions of Dextrose, USP in Water for Injection in a flexible plastic container for intravenous administration as a source of water and calories. Partial-fill containers, designed to facilitate admixture when necessary, are available in 250 mL, 500 mL, and 1000 mL sizes. See Table 1 for the content and characteristics of this solution. The solution contains no bacteriostatic, antimicrobial agent or added buffer and is intended only for use as a single-dose injection. The pH range is 4.0 (3.2 to 6.5). Water can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap but not in amounts sufficient to affect the solution significantly. Table 1.

The molecular weight of dextrose (D-glucose) monohydrate is 198.17. It has the following structural formula: Water for Injection, USP is chemically designated H 2 O. Dextrose is derived from corn. VIAFLO is a flexible plastic container fabricated from a multilayer sheeting (PL-2442) composed of Polypropylene (PP), Polyamide (PA) and Polyethylene (PE). Two different administration connectors are available with VIAFLO containers. The VIAFLO dripless access container (DAC) will not drip once the spike is removed. The non-DAC VIAFLO will drip once the spike is removed from the administration port. VIAFLO is not made with natural rubber latex, DEHP, or PVC. Dextrose Hydrous Structural Formula
