DGDA Approved Prescribing GuidelinesFructin is used intravenously as a carbohydrate nutrient. It is converted to liver glycogen and metabolized more rapidly than dextrose without requiring insulin and thus may be used in diabetic patients. Fructin is indicated in patients requiring fluid replacement and caloric feeding. It is better "nitrogen sparer" than glucose.
Fructose is contraindicated in certain inborn errors of fructose metabolism, methyl alcohol poisoning, hyperuricemia, liver failure, and lactic acidosis.
Intravenous administration of Fructin may cause lactic acidosis and hyperuricemia.The rapid infusion of Fructin results in facial flushing, abdominal pain and sweating.
Fructin should not be given to patients with hereditary Fructin intolerance. It should be given with caution to patients with impaired kidney function or severe liver damage. Infusion of fluid should be immediately discontinued if rigor arises for any reason during the process. Do not use if the solution is cloudy, contains particles, or after expiry date.
