Glucose IV Infusion (5%) is

required. It may also be used to
reconstitute and delivering other
drug products.
Glucose IV Infusion (≥10%) is
indicated as a source for energy
support, which can be used
alone or in combination with an
injectable nutrient supplement.
For example, in patients where:
(a) the gastrointestinal tract
cannot be used (such as, when
bowel rest is needed after
gastrointestinal surgery);
(b) the gastrointestinal
absorption of protein is
impaired; or
(c) metabolic requirements for
protein are substantially
increased (such as in the case
of extensive burns to the body).
