Applications of dextrose anhydrous?

Sick people, like those suffering from diarrhoea, need to replenish the lost nutrients and electrolytes. Dextrose anhydrous provides instant energy. It is the primary ingredient in oral rehydration salts (ORS). Dextrose anhydrous is used in intravenous(IV) fluids to provide nutrients to patients under intensive care who are unable to receive them by the oral route. Dextrose anhydrous complements the function of saline solution for a total electrolyte-energy balance.
