What Glucos Baxter buffered is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Glucos Baxter buffered is an&nbsp;aqueous solution&nbsp;containing the following substances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>sugar (&nbsp;glucose&nbsp;)<\/li><li>sodium chloride<\/li><li>sodium acetate trihydrate<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The infusion fluid is used in connection with surgery to supply fluid during the day of surgery and as a preventive treatment against, or treatment of, dehydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. What you need to know before you get Glucos Baxter buffered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glucos Baxter buffered should not be given:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to sodium acetate trihydrate, sodium chloride,&nbsp;glucose&nbsp;or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><li>if you have a high blood sugar level.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor or nurse before getting Glucos Baxter buffered if you have or have had any of the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>allergy&nbsp;to maize as Glucos Baxter buffered contains sugar obtained from maize, see section 4 &#8220;Possible side effects&#8221;<\/li><li>renal impairment<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>abnormally large amount of fluid in the body<\/li><li>any other condition in which the body retains too much&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;(salt), such as treatment with&nbsp;steroids&nbsp;(see also &#8220;Other drugs and Glucos Baxter buffered&#8221;)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>disorders of blood&nbsp;pH<\/li><li>low levels of&nbsp;magnesium&nbsp;in the blood<\/li><li>low levels of&nbsp;calcium&nbsp;in the blood<\/li><li>head injury in the last 24 hours<\/li><li>if you have a disease that causes high levels of&nbsp;vasopressin&nbsp;, a&nbsp;hormone&nbsp;that regulates fluid levels in the body.&nbsp;You may have too much&nbsp;vasopressin&nbsp;in your body, e.g.&nbsp;if:<ul><li>you had an&nbsp;acute&nbsp;and serious illness<\/li><li>you are suffering from pain<\/li><li>you had surgery<\/li><li>you have&nbsp;infection&nbsp;, burn, brain disease<\/li><li>you have a disease that is linked to the heart, liver, kidneys or&nbsp;central nervous system<\/li><li>because you are taking certain medicines (see also \u201cOther medicines and Glucos Baxter buffered\u201d).This can increase the risk of low sodium levels in the blood and can lead to headaches, nausea, seizures, listlessness,&nbsp;coma&nbsp;, swelling of the brain and death.&nbsp;Swelling of the brain increases the risk of death and brain damage.&nbsp;The following people are at higher risk of developing swelling of the brain:<ul><li>children<\/li><li>women (especially of&nbsp;childbearing potential&nbsp;)<\/li><li>people who have problems with fluid levels in the brain, e.g.&nbsp;due to&nbsp;meningitis&nbsp;, cerebral haemorrhage or brain damage.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>stroke&nbsp;due to a blood clot in the brain (ischemic&nbsp;stroke&nbsp;)<\/li><li>diabetes&nbsp;or impaired glucose tolerance, ie.&nbsp;that your blood sugar level rises a lot after you have eaten and does not go down as expected.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor will take samples for long-term treatment or if necessary to monitor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>fluid balance and the amount of salt (&nbsp;electrolytes&nbsp;) in the body<\/li><li>acidity in the blood and urine (&nbsp;acid-base balance&nbsp;).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Glucos Baxter buffered contains sugar (&nbsp;glucose&nbsp;), it can cause high blood sugar (hyperglycemia).&nbsp;It is especially important to keep in mind if you have&nbsp;diabetes.&nbsp;If you get too high blood sugar, your doctor may:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>adjust the infusion rate<\/li><li>give you&nbsp;insulin&nbsp;to lower&nbsp;your&nbsp;blood sugar.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Infusion&nbsp;of Glucos Baxter buffered should be given with special caution to children and should be closely monitored by a physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact a doctor or nurse immediately if your child develops headaches, nausea, seizures, lethargy, dizziness, or&nbsp;coma&nbsp;during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other drugs and Glucos Baxter buffered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or nurse if you have recently taken or might take any other
