Dextran
Uses
Dextran is used for the treatment of hypovolemia which is a condition known as decreased volume of circulating blood plasma
How it Works
Dextran is known as a plasma volume expander which is made from natural sources of sugar such as glucose. Dextran works by restoring blood plasma lost through severe bleeding. Severe blood loss can decrease oxygen levels and can lead to organ failure, brain damage, coma, and possibly death. Plasma is needed to circulate red blood cells that deliver oxygen throughout the body, thus Dextran works to allow this to happen.

weak or shallow breathing,
Light headedness,
Nausea,
Vomiting,
Joint pain,
Fever
