FAQ

Can I administer 5% glucose-saline solution at home without veterinary supervision?

No. This veterinary product requires intravenous administration and should only be prescribed and supervised by a veterinarian. Improper use may cause complications such as fluid overload or electrolyte imbalances.

Is it safe for cats and dogs of all ages?

Yes, it is safe when used as directed by a veterinarian, but the dosage must be adjusted according to the animal's weight and clinical condition. In puppies, kittens, or geriatric animals, monitoring is even more critical due to their lower tolerance for changes in intravascular volume.

How long does it take to take effect?

The rehydration and energy-boosting effects are immediate after intravenous administration, but the duration of treatment depends on the severity of the dehydration and the animal's response. The veterinarian will determine the duration of treatment.

How should I store the Glucosalino 5% bags?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and at room temperature (not exceeding 25°C). Do not freeze. Once opened, discard any unused portion within 24 hours to avoid contamination. Check the expiration date before use.

Can it be used in animals with diabetes?

It is not recommended for pets with hyperglycemia or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, as glucose can raise blood sugar levels. The veterinarian will assess its safety in each specific case.

What should I do if I observe adverse reactions during administration?

If you notice signs such as difficulty breathing, swelling, tremors, or excessive lethargy, stop administration immediately and contact your emergency veterinarian. Adverse reactions are rare but may include fluid overload or phlebitis.
