CRITICAL ALERT
CORN-ALLERGIC PATIENTS
In
accordance with Code of Federal Regulation 21CFR184.1857, make sure your
medical alert bracelets and your official medical records include the following
corn-derived excipients that are utilized as glucose (blood sugar)-elevating
agents in dextrose-containing IV fluids.
1.
Corn sugar
2.
D-Glucose
3.
Dextrose
4.
α-D-glucopyranose
5.
Cornstarch
By
listing all of these excipients on your medical alert bracelets and in your
official medical records, this will also protect clinicians from potential
medical malpractice lawsuits if they inject you with any of these corn-derived excipients
when your IgE-mediated allergy to corn is clearly documented in your official
medical records.
