Indications

  • Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Used to diagnose diabetes and other conditions affecting blood sugar metabolism.
  • Carbohydrate Deficiency: Supports individuals with low blood glucose due to poor diet, illness, or physical exhaustion.
  • Exercise Recovery: Helps replenish energy stores after intense physical activity.
  • Hypoglycemia: Used to rapidly elevate blood sugar levels in hypoglycemic episodes (e.g., insulin-treated diabetic patients).
Mechanism of Action
  • Glucose is a simple sugar that:
    • Provides a rapid source of energy as it is quickly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Increases blood glucose levels, supporting cellular energy production.
    • Helps in diagnosing insulin function during OGTT by monitoring how the body handles a high glucose load.
Dosage and Administration
  • Form: Powder for oral solution
  • Typical Use:
    • For OGTT: Dissolve 75g glucose in approx. 250–300 ml of water. Administer orally to fasting individuals. Blood glucose levels are measured before and at intervals after consumption.
    • For energy support or hypoglycemia: Follow healthcare provider instructions or label guidelines.
  • Administration: Oral. Ensure full dissolution in water before intake. Take under medical supervision when used for diagnostic testing.
Side Effects
  • Common:
    • Nausea
    • Bloating or fullness
    • Mild gastrointestinal discomfort
  • Rare:
    • Vomiting (especially if consumed rapidly or on an empty stomach)
    • Hyperglycemia (in diabetic individuals if dosage not monitored)
Contraindications
  • Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption: Individuals with this rare hereditary condition should not use this product.
  • Fructose Intolerance (if applicable): Check label for possible added sugars; avoid if intolerant.
  • Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus: May cause dangerous spikes in blood sugar; should not be used outside medical supervision.
  • Hyperglycemia: Not suitable for individuals with persistently high blood glucose levels.
  • Severe Dehydration or Electrolyte Imbalance: Glucose solution may worsen fluid balance if not monitored.

Information

Warnings and Precautions:

  • Not suitable for individuals with glucose-galactose malabsorption.
  • Use with caution in diabetic patients not undergoing supervised OGTT.
  • May temporarily elevate blood sugar; monitor levels if diabetic.

Drug Interactions:

  • None significant for short-term diagnostic use.
  • Can affect results of medications that influence blood sugar (e.g., insulin, metformin); inform healthcare provider before testing.
