Dextrose is dextrose -- a form of glucose. Glucose is a monosacharide, used for energy within the body.

In fact, Dextrose IV may often actually be glucose. In Medical Marketing, Dextrose may also refer to starch or other liquids used to replace blood in the hypovolemic when whole blood or plasma is not available. In this case, you'd see something like a 5% Dextrose to sterile water solution.
