Hello everyone, I've been dealt with the Dextrose 70% Inj for a while now. As a concentrated sugar solution given through a vein, it basically supplies the body with energy when you can't eat or absorb enough food or need extra sugar. It's usually part of a TPN mixture. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience with this. How did you find it? What side effects did you encounter? Do you think it helped you? How bad were the side effects?

I've been on Sodium Acetate 4meq/ml Inj 50ml IVs for a couple of weeks now, and I'm curious to hear from others who have had similar experiences. I was prescribed it to help with acid-base balance issues and to supplement sodium while on TPN. So far, I haven't experienced any major side effects, but I'm aware of the potential risks, especially the severe allergic reactions and electrolyte imbalances. Has anyone else dealt with these, and if so, how did you manage? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!
