No, it is far from isotonic. there's even more salt in it than in ocean water (3%).

A typical home recipe for an isotonic solution, used for nasal spray, consists of 1⁄2 litre of water, 4 to 5 grams (1 teaspoon) of salt. This is about 10 grams per Litre or 1 % NOT 10%

Is 10 percent glucose solution hypertonic?

No. Everything below 0.9% of NaCl is hypotonic and every solution with concentration over 0.9% is hypertonic solution.  Isotonic solution (to blood) is the one that has 0.9% of NaCl, or some other concentration of another compound.

it is hypotonicQuoting from someone else's reply to this question What_is_an_example_of_a_hypotonic_solution,"0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic".Doesn't this mean that 10% is hypertonic?
