What is dextrose 5% in water?

Dextrose is a form of glucose (sugar). Dextrose 5% in water is injected into a vein
through an IV to replace lost fluids and provide carbohydrates to the body.

Dextrose 5% in water is used to treat low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), insulin shock, or
dehydration (fluid loss). Dextrose 5% in water is also given for nutritional support to
patients who are unable to eat because of illness, injury, or other medical condition.

Dextrose 5% in water is sometimes used as a diluent (liquid) for preparing injectable

medication in an IV bag. A diluent provides a large amount of fluid in which to dilute a
small amount of medicine. The diluent helps carry the medicine into your bloodstream
through the IV. This helps your caregivers inject the medicine slowly and more safely
into your body.
