Glucose Intravenous Infusion (Aviva bag) Product Information 5% Glucose Intravenous Infusion AVIVA (ccsi43020131101) 27 May 2014 Page 1 of 9 Baxter Healthcare 5% GLUCOSE INTRAVENOUS INFUSION IN AVIVA PLASTIC CONTAINER NAME OF THE MEDICINE COMPOSITION The active ingredient is Glucose (anhydrous) in Water for Injections. CHEMICAL STRUCTURE/ MOLECULAR FORMULA The chemical name of glucose is (+)-D- glucopyranose. Molecular formula of glucose is C 6 H 12 O 6. C 6 H 12 O 6; Molecular Weight = 180.2 CAS: 50-99-7 _ _ DESCRIPTION Glucose is a monosaccharide, having physical characteristics as a white or almost white, crystalline powder, freely soluble in water, sparingly soluble in ethanol (96 per cent). The Glucose 5.0% Intravenous Infusions are clear, colourless solutions, practically free from visible particles and are sterile, non-pyrogenic parenteral solutions. The concentrations of glucose dissolved in a litre of Water for Injections are shown in Table 1 (see PRESENTATION AND STORAGE CONDITIONS ). They do not contain an antimicrobial agent or added buffer and have a ph of 3.2 - 6.5 for 5% glucose concentrations. The isotonicity of these preparations is shown in Table 1 ( PRESENTATION AND STORAGE CONDITIONS) . The Glucose 5% Intravenous Infusion is an isotonic solution. PHARMACOLOGY _Mechanism of Action _ Glucose is readily metabolised into carbon dioxide and water, with a release of energy. As such, an administration of a glucose solution either by oral or parenteral route provides water for body hydration as well as calories. In addition, it may reduce catabolic loss of nitrogen from the body and aids in prevention of depletion of liver glycogen. That is, in the absence of glucose, amino acids undergo deamination. It is followed by oxidation, with a release of energy. Thus, the Glucose 5.0% Intravenous Infusions has value as a source of water and energy. Glucose is readily converted into fat in the body which can be used as a source of energy as required. Under a similar conversion into storage of energy, glucose i Read the complete document
