| Active Ingredient | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Glucose |
Glucose is frequently used in both adults and children to restore blood glucose concentrations in the treatment of hypoglycaemia resulting from insulin excess or from other causes. The metabolism of glucose is an energy source for the body. |
|
| Magnesium chloride |
|
|
| Potassium chloride |
Potassium plays a vital physiological role in maintenance of normal electrical excitability of nerve and muscle. It is also important in the genesis and correction of imbalances of acid-base metabolism. |
|
| Sodium acetate |
|
|
| Sodium chloride |
Sodium chloride is the principle salt involved in maintaining the osmotic tension of blood and tissues. Changes in osmotic tension influence the movement of fluids and diffusion of salts in cellular tissue. |
