I've been receiving Dextrose 5%/NaCl 0.45% Inj, 500ml for hydration and electrolyte balance during frequent hospital visits. I'm curious about the potential long-term effects, especially since I've been told I might need to continue this treatment for an extended period. Has anyone else had similar experiences or knows more about this? Are there any specific side effects that might show up after prolonged use? I've read the list of possible side effects, but I'm more concerned about what might happen after months or years of use. Any insights or medical advice would be greatly appreciated!
