Warnings

Careful monitoring is required when administering Fdl Ds 0.9% Infusion 1000ml to diabetic patients due to the presence of dextrose.

Cautions

This infusion should be used with caution in patients with cardiac or renal failure, as well as those with restricted salt intake, due to its sodium chloride content. Special attention should be given to patients with elevated blood glucose levels, as dextrose can exacerbate hyperglycemia.
