Grelyte Infusion helps replenish electrolytes that may be lost due to dehydration, insufficient intake, or the effects of certain medications. For instance, diuretics may cause significant loss of fluids and electrolytes. Additionally, underlying health conditions and digestive disorders can interfere with the body's ability to maintain proper hydration and electrolyte balance.

Grelyte Infusion contains dextrose and sodium chloride. Dextrose works by providing hydration and energy, while sodium chloride replenishes sodium and chloride ions, essential for fluid balance. Sodium helps regulate electrolyte levels in extracellular fluids, and chloride ions follow to maintain electrical neutrality and support fluid equilibrium. This combination aids in restoring both hydration and electrolyte balance in the body.

The dose and duration of treatment with Grelyte Infusion may vary depending on your medical condition. The common side effects of Grelyte Infusion include abdominal or stomach pain, chills, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea or vomiting, sore throat, infection at the injection site, venous thrombosis, and phlebitis extending from the injection site. Most of these side effects gradually resolve on their own over time. However, inform the doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Grelyte Infusion or any of its components and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The doctor may prescribe this medication only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your pre-existing health conditions.

Grelyte Infusion will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer.

Dextrose and sodium chloride help restore hydration and balance electrolyte levels by replenishing essential ions like sodium and chloride. This combination supplies energy from dextrose while maintaining fluid and electrolyte equilibrium in the body. Follow your doctor's instructions to achieve the maximum benefits of the treatment.

Inform your doctor if you have congestive heart failure, severe kidney problems, or conditions that cause fluid retention, as this medication should be used with extreme caution in such cases. Do not connect plastic containers in series. If a pumping device is used, ensure the pumping action is stopped before the container runs dry to avoid air embolism. These solutions are for intravenous use with sterile equipment, and it is recommended to replace the intravenous administration apparatus at least once every 24 hours. Excessive use of Grelyte Infusion may result in low potassium levels, and individuals with kidney issues may experience sodium retention. Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, as dextrose in the solution may impact blood sugar levels. Patients with high blood concentration levels (hyperosmolar states) should use hypertonic solutions with caution, as they may cause vein irritation or inflammation (phlebitis).
