It depends on which context you are talking about. If it is in IV admixtures it depends on the compatibility of the drug and what length of time it is needed to be stable for. Some drugs are stable for only a couple of hours in saline, but may be stable for much longer in dextrose, and vice versa.

What is another word for glucose when it is man made for IV use?
Dextrose is used to describe glucose when manmade for IV use. D5W is an abbreviation for 5% dextrose in water, a common IV solution.

What are indications for using 5 percent dextrose in water?
D5W or Dextrose 5% Water is indicated for: * Rehydration * Provides calories for some metabolic needs (100ml provides 5g dextrose) -- useful in traumas when there's a shock related calorie burn. * By adding carbohydrates, reduces metabolism of proteins for calorie uptake. * May produce diuresis. * Used for keeping an IV catheter open, and providing a means of piggybacking meds into the system IV. Note that emergency services more typically use normal saline or ringers lactate.
Is dextrose bad for you?
Dextrose, also known as glucose (technically D-glucose), is a simple sugar found naturally in all living organisms and most food ingredients. Dextrose is sometimes referred to as "grape sugar" or "corn sugar." All are considered "dextrose." Typically, dextrose is derived from all natural, starchy food ingredients like rice, wheat, or potatoes. DEXTROSE OR GLUCOSE, has a higher glycemic value than table sugar and on most glycemic indexes, glucose is used to compare the value of other "foods" as glucose (which is actual blood sugar) has a faster release into your system than most any other sugar or food item which will result in a very sharp rise in your insulin levels. Diabetics should not use this sweetener. So in other words you just simply want to be careful when eating foods that have dextrose as an ingredient. Dont eat too much of it. And if you have diabetes stay away from it. It is my personal opinion that if you ingest this sugar make sure that its only from all natural foods. Aka non processed foods. As far as it being bad. I do not believe it is bad in small amounts. Just don't overdo it. Anything good can become bad if you get too much of it.

Can you make Dextrose from Swine?
Technically yes, although this would be difficult, require a great deal of inputs and would not result in a product you would call "edible sugar". Dextrose is a specific sugar molecule; in physiologic systems dextrose can be formed from fatty acid chains or proteins via complex enzyme pathways. Those pathways are typically found in plant cells, as plants use carbohydrates (like dextrose) as an energy storage molecule. Animal cells can break down dextrose and convert it to glucose, but typically cannot form dextrose from other molecules. If you really wanted to work at it, you could take a pork carcass and turn a fair portion of it into dextrose, although (as stated above) it would be an extremely energy and enzyme-intensive process.
What is the use of sabouraud's dextrose agar and the role of pH in this selectivity?
Selects for yeasts, and a pH indicator should differentiate whether they produce acid as byproducts, thereby further helping one determine what type of yeast it is.
