Transcend Glucose Orange

Transcend Glucose Orange is used to treat very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), mainly in people with diabetes mellitus. Transcend Glucose Orange works by quickly raising the amount of glucose in your blood.

Transcend Glucose Orange is also used to provide carbohydrate calories to someone who cannot eat due to illness, trauma, or other medical conditions. Transcend Glucose Orange is sometimes given to people who are ill from drinking too much alcohol.

Transcend Glucose Orange may also be used to treat hyperkalemia (high levels of potassium in your blood).
