INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
This product is administered by intravenous infusion for the treatment
of
dehydration (in the absence of shock) in cattle, calves, horses, dogs
and cats. It
is used to replace water when it cannot be taken or retained orally.
Glucose infusions are used to correct hypernatraemia (by replacing
lost water)
and hyperkalaemia (through the promotion of insulin production which
in turn
causes potassium to move from plasma into cells). It is not a
significant calorie
source but can provide transient improvement of hypoglycaemia.
