Product Description:
Glucose: organic compound, molecular formula C6H12O6. It is the most widely distributed and most important monosaccharide in nature. It is a polyhydroxy aldehyde. Pure glucose is colorless crystal, sweet but not as sweet as sucrose (can not taste sweet), soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in ether. The natural glucose aqueous solution is optically rotated to the right, so it belongs to "dextrose".
Glucose plays an important role in the biological field. It is the energy source and metabolic intermediate of living cells, the main energy-supplying substance of living things. Plants produce glucose through photosynthesis. It is widely used in the field of candy manufacturing and medicine.

Application Areas:
Glucose is widely used clinically for the moisture and heat required by patients with high fever, dehydration, coma or inability to eat. When a large amount of body fluid is lost in the body, such as vomiting and diarrhea, large blood loss, etc., 5% to 10% glucose and physiological saline may be intravenously infused to supplement water, salt and sugar, and used for hypoglycemia and drug poisoning. Intravenous infusion of 25% to 50% hypertonic solution, due to its high osmotic pressure, tissue dehydration and short diuretic, combined with mannitol for the treatment of cerebral edema, pulmonary edema and lower intraocular pressure. Intravenous infusion of hypertonic glucose for hypoglycemia. In combination with insulin, it can promote the transfer of potassium into cells, and it is also one of the treatment measures for hyperkalemia.
