EnglishFructose
Fructose is a natural monosaccharide, a simple sugar. Fructose is metabolized in the liver, where it can be converted into glucose or stored as fat. It plays a role in energy production and is a component of various biochemical processes.
Fructose may be used in various medical contexts, including:
- Dietary supplements for individuals with certain metabolic disorders.
- Intravenous administration in specific clinical situations.
- Sweetening agent in pharmaceutical formulations.
- Dosage and administration should be determined based on the specific indication and patient characteristics.
- Oral administration may involve mixing fructose with liquids or incorporating it into dietary plans.
- Intravenous administration should follow established protocols, and healthcare professionals should monitor patients closely.
Most Common:
- Gastrointestinal discomfort (e.g., bloating, diarrhea) with high doses.
- Hyperglycemia in susceptible individuals.
Less Common:
- Allergic reactions (rare but possible).
- Metabolic disturbances in individuals with certain conditions.
- Metabolic Disorders: Caution in patients with metabolic disorders (e.g., hereditary fructose intolerance) where fructose metabolism is impaired.
- Hyperglycemia: Monitoring blood glucose levels in patients, especially those with diabetes.
- Allergic Reactions: Monitoring for signs of allergic reactions, especially in individuals with a history of allergies.
Contraindication
None known.
None known.
- Hereditary Fructose Intolerance: Contraindicated in individuals with hereditary fructose intolerance, a genetic disorder that impairs fructose metabolism.
- Uncontrolled Diabetes: Caution or contraindication in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes due to the potential impact on blood glucose levels.
