Posology
_Adults, the Elderly and Children:_
The concentration and dosage of glucose solution for intravenous use
is determined by several factors
including the age, weight and clinical condition of the patient.
Serum-glucose concentrations may need to
be carefully monitored.
The recommended dosage for treatment of carbohydrate and fluid
depletion is:
- for adults: 500 ml to 3 litres / 24h
- for babies and children :
- 0-10 kg body weight:
- 10-20 kg body weight:
- > 20 kg body weight:
100 ml/kg/24h.
1000 ml + 50 ml /kg over 10 kg / 24h.
1500 ml + 20 ml / kg over 20 kg / 24h.
The infusion rate depends on the patient's clinical condition.
Infusion rate should not exceed the patient's glucose oxidation
capacities in order to avoid
hyperglycaemia. Therefore, the maximum dose ranges from 5mg/kg/min for
adults to 10-18 mg/kg/min
for babies and children depending on the age and the total body mass.
The recommended dosage when used as a vehicle or diluent ranges from
50 to 250 ml per dose of
medicinal product to be administered.
When Glucose 5% is used as a diluent for injectable preparations of
other drugs, the dosage and the
infusion rate will be principally dictated by the nature and the dose
