For which medication is it recommended to use Saline without dextrose?

  1. Phenytoin

  2. Diclofenac

  3. Sildenafil

  4. Paracetamol

The correct answer is: Phenytoin

Saline without dextrose is recommended for the medication Phenytoin because dextrose can interact with Phenytoin and reduce its stability. Therefore, avoiding dextrose in the solution helps prevent any potential interactions that could compromise the effectiveness of Phenytoin. It is important to use a compatible solution to maintain the integrity and efficacy of the medication when administering it intravenously. Regarding the other options: - Diclofenac, Sildenafil, and Paracetamol do not have the same specific recommendation to avoid dextrose in the solution as Phenytoin does.
