4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Therapeutic Uses

...IT IS UTILIZED BY DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH KETOACIDOSIS...MAY BE USEFUL IN EARLY MANAGEMENT OF THIS COMPLICATION OF DIABETES MELLITUS.

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 769


MEDICATION (VET): AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR GLUCOSE IN PARENTERAL FLUIDS SINCE IT DOES NOT EXCEED RENAL THRESHOLD AS READILY. THUS, 10% SOLN CAN BE USED INSTEAD OF 5% GLUCOSE PROVIDING MORE TOTAL CALORIES PER ML, & THIS ACCOUNTS FOR ITS USE IN ACETONEMIA THERAPY IN ADULT CATTLE.

Rossoff, I.S. Handbook of Veterinary Drugs. New York: Springer Publishing Company, 1974., p. 229


FRUCTOSE SOLN, LIKE THOSE OF DEXTROSE, ARE EMPLOYED TO REPLACE OR SUPPLEMENT ORAL CONSUMPTION OF FOOD OR WATER IN ORDER TO PROVIDE CALORIES REQUIRED FOR METABOLIC NEEDS, TO SUPPLY BODY WATER, TO SPARE BODY PROTEINS, TO LOWER PRODN OF EXCESS KETONES BY LIVER, & TO SPARE LOSS OF ELECTROLYTES.

American Hospital Formulary Service. Volumes I and II. Washington, DC: American Society of Hospital Pharmacists, to 1984., p. 40:20


DENTAL ASPECTS OF CONSUMPTION OF FRUCTOSE DIETS RESULTED IN REDUCTION OF INCIDENCE OF DENTAL CARIES BY 30%.

4.2 Drug Warning

SUBCUTANEOUS ROUTE IS NOT RECOMMENDED, BECAUSE SUGARS GIVEN SC CAUSE ELECTROLYTE DISTORTIONS, WHICH OCCASIONALLY MAY BE SEVERE.

Osol, A. and J.E. Hoover, et al. (eds.). Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. 15th ed. Easton, Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Co., 1975., p. 964


FRUCTOSE IS NONTOXIC BUT SOLN SHOULD BE ADMIN SLOWLY. IT DECOMPOSES IN ALKALINE SOLN & THUS SUBSTANCES WHICH WOULD RAISE PH ABOVE 7 SHOULD NOT BE ADDED. CALCIUM & BARIUM FORM INSOL COMPLEXES WITH FRUCTOSE WHEN PH EXCEEDS 7 & ARE THUS INCOMPATIBLE. CLOUDY SOLN OF FRUCTOSE SHOULD NOT BE USED.

V06DC - Carbohydrates

V06DC02 - Fructose


5.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

TWICE THE CONCN OF FRUCTOSE CAN BE INFUSED AT THE SAME RATE AS DEXTROSE WITH BETTER RETENTION AND LESS DISTURBANCE OF FLUID BALANCE.

American Hospital Formulary Service. Volumes I and II. Washington, DC: American Society of Hospital Pharmacists, to 1984., p. 40:20


...ADVANTAGES OF FRUCTOSE IS ITS RAPID REMOVAL FROM EXTRACELLULAR SPACE, & THEREFORE, URINARY EXCRETION IS MINIMIZED.

5.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

IN ABSENCE OF GLUCOSE, FRUCTOSE IS PHOSPHORYLATED PERIPHERALLY BY HEXOKINASE TO FRUCTOSE-6-PHOSPHATE, &, ON ACCOUNT OF HIGH KM VALUE FOR FRUCTOSE & LOW KM VALUE FOR GLUCOSE, LATTER IS PREFERENTIALLY PHOSPHORYLATED BY THIS ENZYME IN PERIPHERAL TISSUES.

The Chemical Society. Foreign Compound Metabolism in Mammals. Volume 4: A Review of the Literature Published during 1974 and 1975. London: The Chemical Society, 1977., p. 171


ORAL FRUCTOSE IS OFTEN CONVERTED TO GLUCOSE IN INTESTINAL MUCOSA OF A NUMBER OF SPECIES, SUCH AS GUINEA PIG, HAMSTER, & DOG. NEWBORN PIGS & YOUNG CALVES UP TO 1 MO OF AGE CANNOT UTILIZE IT. SPECIES...WITH LOW GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE & RELATED ENZYME DEFICIENCIES MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY IN METABOLIZING IT.

Rossoff, I.S. Handbook of Veterinary Drugs. New York: Springer Publishing Company, 1974., p. 229


FRUCTOSE IS MORE RAPIDLY METABOLIZED & MORE QUICKLY CONVERTED TO GLYCOGEN THAN IS DEXTROSE, & PRESENCE OF INSULIN IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THIS REACTION TO TAKE PLACE. WHEN...INJECTED LOWER LEVELS OF BLOOD SUGAR & LESS SPILLAGE RESULT THAN WHEN SIMILAR AMT OF DEXTROSE ARE GIVEN @ SAME RATE.
