Grelyte

Grelyte Infusion is used in a hospital setting to treat dehydration, restore fluid and electrolyte balance, and provide calories for energy. It is given to patients who cannot take enough food or fluids by mouth, such as after surgery or during an illness.<br>

Grelyte Infusion is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion when you cannot take fluids by mouth, such as when you are very ill, vomiting, or severely dehydrated. The IV route allows your body to receive fluids, electrolytes, and energy quickly and effectively, which is essential in situations like significant fluid loss or severe bleeding.<br>

The duration of Grelyte Infusion depends entirely on your individual medical condition. Your doctor will monitor you closely, including your hydration status and electrolyte levels, and will continue the intravenous therapy until you are stable and can take adequate fluids by mouth.<br>

It is very important to inform your doctor if you have diabetes. Since Grelyte Infusion contains dextrose, a type of sugar, it can affect your blood sugar levels. Your doctor will need to monitor your blood glucose closely while you are receiving this infusion, and may need to adjust your diabetes medications accordingly.<br>

Yes, if not administered and monitored carefully, Grelyte Infusion can lead to fluid overload (too much fluid in the body), or electrolyte imbalances (like high or low sodium levels). This is why it is always given in a controlled medical setting where your condition can be closely watched.<br>
