Pladex Infusion is a rapidly metabolized source of calories and fluids in patients with inadequate oral intake. While increasing the blood glucose levels, dextrose may decrease body protein and nitrogen losses, promote glycogen deposition, and decrease or prevent ketosis if sufficient doses are given.
Pladex infusion is used for indications like low blood sugar, hyperthyroidism, high blood calcium, or diabetes insipidus. A proper prescription is required for its usage. It should be stored at room temperature away from direct heat and sunlight.
