DEXTROGEL FAST ACTING DEXTROSE GEL 3 X 25G - 1 BOX

High certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of effect. Maximum serum concentrations (C max) of oestradiol and estrone on Day 12 were 117 pg/ml and 128 pg/ml, respectively. Oral dextrose gel (specifically 40% dextrose concentration) used to treat hypoglycaemia in newborn infants (specifically at‐risk late preterm and term infants) probably increases correction of hypoglycaemic events, and may result in a slight reduction in the risk of major neurological disability at age two years or older. Oral dextrose gel treatment probably reduces the incidence of separation from the mother for treatment and increases the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding after discharge. No adverse events have been reported. Results suggest that oral dextrose gel probably corrects individual episodes of low blood glucose levels and may result in a slight reduction in the risk of major disability at age two years or older; however, the evidence is uncertain. The evidence was not sufficient to show whether oral dextrose gel reduces the need for other treatments. Oral dextrose gel compared to placebo gel probably reduces mother‐infant separation and probably increases the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding after discharge from the hospital. Researchers reported no adverse eventswhen oral dextrose gel was given to infants. HRT use does not improve cognitive function. There is some evidence from the WHI trial of increased risk of probable dementia in women who start using continuous combined or oestrogen-only HRT after the age of 65.

Dextrose and placebo gels were identical in appearance. Clinicians, families and study investigators were masked to treatment allocation until completion of data analysis.

Oestrogens may cause fluid retention, and therefore patients with cardiac or renal dysfunction should be carefully observed. Use of oestrogen-only or combined oestrogen-progestogen HRT has been associated with a slightly increased risk of having ovarian cancer diagnosed (see section 4.4). We evaluated studies for potential clinical diversity (e.g. differences in the dose of oral dextrose gel, type, and severity of hypoglycaemia, reason for risk of hypoglycaemia), and we planned to restrict meta‐analysis to studies in which clinical consistency was apparent. We evaluated studies for bias, as above, and planned to restrict meta‐analysis if bias would be compounded. or/24‐32) not 33 [RCT Filter‐Based on Cochrane‐ Box 6.4.c: Cochrane Highly Sensitive Search Strategy]

Depending on the duration of oestrogen-only use and oestrogen dose, the increase in risk of endometrial cancer in epidemiology studies varied from between 5 and 55 extra cases diagnosed in every 1000 women between the ages of 50 and 65. Oestrogen deficiency at menopause is associated with an increasing bone turnover and decline in bone mass.We permitted the newborn period to refer to the time infants were admitted at or soon after birth and remained in their neonatal admission until first discharge home. We limited our search to potentially eligible randomised clinical trials by using a maximally sensitive method filter. Five infants were randomised in error and were excluded from the analysis, leaving 118 infants in the oral dextrose gel group and 119 infants in the placebo gel group. Of the 237 randomised, 78% were followed up and assessed at 4.5 years' corrected age (96/118 oral dextrose gel group and 89/119 in the placebo gel group). Children assessed at 4.5 years were more likely to be exposed to alcohol and smoking during pregnancy, be of Māori ethnicity, have a lower minimum interstitial blood glucose concentration and be admitted to NICU compared with children not assessed. Those assessed were also less likely to be a singleton and of an ethnicity other than Māori or New Zealand European. All other maternal and infant characteristics were similar in those who were and were not assessed at 4.5 years. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-332-1088.

Vitamin K plays an important role in the coagulation of blood. Because breast milk contains too little vitamin K, nursing babies who are wholly or largely breast-fed require extra vitamin Kfor the first three months of their lives.
