Dextran is a polysaccharide used in medicine as a plasma substitute or for thrombosis prevention. It works by increasing plasma volume and reducing blood viscosity, thereby improving circulation.

The medication is administered intravenously, as directed by a doctor, and the dose is adjusted based on the patient's condition. It is important to monitor vital signs and renal function during administration.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, fever, nausea, or hypotension. In rare cases, renal failure or anaphylactic reactions may occur.

Dextran is not recommended for patients with severe renal impairment, heart failure, or hypersensitivity to this medication.
