Brand: Insta-Glucose, Glutose, Dextrose
Glucose, a simple sugar (monosaccharide), is a vital source of energy for living organisms and a metabolic intermediate. It's the primary energy source for the brain and plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. Glucose is used clinically to treat hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and provide nutritional support.
Used to treat hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and provide nutritional support.
Outcome:
Severe hypoglycemia
Mechanism:
Alcohol inhibits gluconeogenesis and can exacerbate glucose-lowering effects.
Outcome:
Decreased digoxin effectiveness
Mechanism:
Glucose may interfere with digoxin absorption.
Outcome:
Potential hypertensive crisis
Mechanism:
Interaction mechanism not fully elucidated.
Most likely new formulation: sustained-release glucose formulations for improved management of hypoglycemia (Year: 2026, 70% confidence).
Based on the established safety profile and essential role in human metabolism, glucose-related products are likely to remain readily available with minimal regulatory changes (95% likelihood).
