See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Dextrose

It sounds like you’re describing an IV fluid: Dextrose 5% in water (D5W) with potassium chloride added at 0.224% concentration, in a plastic IV bag.

Key points:
- Composition: D5W + KCl 0.224% (about 30 mEq of potassium per liter).
- Use: Provides calories (glucose) and potassium for maintenance/therapy under medical supervision.
- Packaging: Commonly in a plastic IV bag or bottle.

Safety notes:
- Potassium-containing IV fluids must be given by IV infusion (not IV push) and usually with a pump.
- Potassium administration requires medical oversight: check kidney function, heart status, and current potassium levels.
- Inappropriate use or rapid administration can cause serious problems (arrhythmias, hyperkalemia/hypokalemia, phlebitis).

If you’re asking for a specific product, dosing, or how to use it, please share more context (who it’s for, whether this is for a patient you’re caring for, etc.). If this is for actual medical use, contact a clinician or pharmacist for precise instructions and safety guidance.
