The following is from the manufacturer's FDA-approved drug label, not recall-specific. Provided for context.

Indications & Usage

INDICATIONS AND USAGE: Intravenous solutions containing dextrose are indicated for parenteral replenishment of fluid and minimal carbohydrate calories as required by the clinical condition of the patient.

Dosage & Administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: The dose is dependent upon the age, weight and clinical condition of the patient.

To report SUSPECTED ADVE...
