  • Treatment of hypoglycemia when oral glucose administration is not feasible.
  • Component of parenteral nutrition regimens to supply energy.
  • Fluid and electrolyte replacement in patients unable to tolerate oral intake.
  • Support during peri‑operative fasting to maintain blood glucose levels.
  • Adjunct therapy in critical care settings for metabolic stability.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions to Glukoza B. Braun are generally related to its osmolarity and glucose content.

Common

  • Hyperglycemia or elevated blood glucose levels.
  • Local irritation at the infusion site.
  • Mild electrolyte disturbances, such as low potassium.
  • Transient nausea or vomiting.

Serious

  • Severe hyperglycemia leading to diabetic ketoacidosis.

Precautions & Warnings

When prescribing Glukoza B. Braun, clinicians should consider patient‑specific factors and monitor relevant parameters.

  • Assess baseline blood glucose and adjust infusion rate accordingly.
  • Monitor electrolytes, especially potassium and sodium, during therapy.
  • Use caution in patients with renal or cardiac insufficiency due to risk of fluid overload.
  • Avoid rapid infusion in neonates and infants to prevent hyperglycemia.
  • Discontinue or modify therapy if signs of allergic reaction develop.

Avoid Interactions

Glukoza B. Braun may interact with other agents that affect glucose metabolism or fluid balance.

Avoid
