FLOW RL-D 500ML ONLINE AT BEST PRICE IN PAKISTAN

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

MANUFACTURER: Mediflow

QUANTITY

500 ml IV bag

INDICATION

Flow RL-D 500ML is a sterile balanced electrolyte and dextrose combination solution for intravenous infusion. It is used for post-operative fluid management, controlled fluid replacement in dehydrated patients, and as a surgical maintenance fluid where the smaller volume of the 500ml bag offers better dosing flexibility.

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.
