i like to add 100 gr of glucose in a Nacl (of 500 ml) bottle before to inject. Is it safe to use glucose powder or do i need to buy glucose made with autoclave ? Thanks

I use duravet 50% dextrose for bulls.
I have never mixed concentrations that high before but I want to try D15% next and methodically work my way up.
Is the expansion more massive or prolonged?

This is the first time I've heard of powder?! Is it for injections?

Preparing an infusion requires sterile conditions, precise dosages and knowledge of the various infusion solutions. Self-prepared infusions can have dangerous side effects. The infusions are prepared in sterile environments to avoid infections. A self-prepared infusion can be contaminated with bacteria or other pathogens, which can have dangerous consequences. Believe me, I am a pharmacist! If it were that easy, I would only make my own!

I wouldn't do that if you're not professionally familiar with it.
too risky
