GENERIC: Ringer's Lactate + Dextrose 5% Intravenous Infusion

MANUFACTURER: Mediflow

QUANTITY

1000 ml IV bag

INDICATION

Flow RL-D 1000ML is a sterile combined Ringer's Lactate and dextrose intravenous solution indicated for fluid and electrolyte replacement with concurrent caloric support. It is used in post-operative fluid management, dehydration with electrolyte loss, surgical maintenance fluid therapy, and in burn patients requiring balanced fluid with glucose.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Flow RL-D combines the balanced electrolyte profile of Ringer's Lactate with the energy provision of dextrose 5%. Ringer's Lactate provides sodium, potassium, calcium, and lactate in physiological proportions. Lactate is metabolized by the liver to bicarbonate, providing a mild buffering effect. The addition of dextrose 5% provides 170 kcal/L of energy from glucose metabolism and contributes free water after oxidation. This combination is superior to plain dextrose saline in surgical and trauma patients where acid-base balance and electrolyte composition are critical.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

•      Administered intravenously under medical supervision

•      Dosing is individualized based on surgical requirements, fluid losses, and metabolic status

•      Standard intraoperative maintenance: 3 to 8 ml/kg/hour adjusted to surgical bleeding and insensible losses

•      Monitor blood glucose, lactate levels, and serum electrolytes during administration

•      Calcium in the solution is incompatible with certain medications; verify compatibility before co-infusion
