What is the solvent in ringers solution?

Each 100 mL contains 5 g Dextrose Hydrous Lactated Ringer's and 5% Dextrose Injection, USP has value as a source of water, electrolytes, and calories. It is capable of inducing diuresis depending on the clinical condition of the patient. Lactated Ringer's and 5% Dextrose Injection, USP produces a metabolic alkalinizing effect. Lactate ions are metabolized ultimately to carbon dioxide and water, which requires the consumption of hydrogen cations.


What is D5lrs stands for?
