APAG® GLUCONIQ 75 Oral Glucose Drink 300ml – Apple / Orange

APAG® GLUCONIQ 75 Oral Glucose Drink 300ml

APAG® GLUCONIQ 75 is a ready-to-drink oral glucose solution intended to provide a standardised glucose load during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, commonly abbreviated as OGTT, or a Modified Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, commonly abbreviated as MOGTT.

Each 300ml bottle contains 75g of anhydrous dextrose. The pre-measured liquid eliminates the need to weigh glucose powder, mix it with water or estimate the required volume before testing.

GLUCONIQ 75 is available in pleasant Apple and Orange flavours. Its non-carbonated, caffeine-free formulation is designed to make consumption more manageable during a diagnostic glucose test.

This product should only be used according to instructions provided by a doctor, clinic, hospital or diagnostic laboratory. Do not consume it independently before arriving for your test unless specifically instructed to do so.

Product Information

What Is APAG® GLUCONIQ 75 Used For?

APAG® GLUCONIQ 75 is intended to provide the measured glucose load required for certain diagnostic blood-glucose tests, including:

• Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests.
• Modified Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests.
• Gestational diabetes screening when ordered by a healthcare professional.
• Assessment of how the body processes a measured amount of glucose.
• Evaluation of suspected impaired glucose tolerance when clinically appropriate.

The product itself does not diagnose diabetes. Diagnosis depends on blood samples collected and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals according to the applicable testing protocol.

What Is an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test?

An Oral Glucose Tolerance Test measures how the body responds after consuming a controlled amount of glucose.

Depending on the test protocol, the procedure may involve:

1. Fasting for the period specified by the clinic or laboratory.
2. Having an initial fasting blood sample collected.
3. Drinking a solution containing a measured glucose dose.
4. Remaining at the clinic or laboratory during the testing period.
5. Having additional blood samples collected at specified times.

The exact procedure, number of blood samples and test duration may differ according to the reason for testing and the protocol used by the healthcare facility.

Use in Gestational Diabetes Screening

A 75g oral glucose load may be used as part of an OGTT or MOGTT to screen for or diagnose gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

The timing of gestational diabetes screening is determined by the attending doctor or maternity-care provider. Some pregnant individuals may be tested earlier based on their medical history or risk factors.

GLUCONIQ 75 should not be consumed solely because a person is pregnant. It should only be used when the test has been ordered and the clinic or laboratory has confirmed that a 75g glucose solution is required.

Refer to the physical Apple or Orange product label for the complete and current ingredient list, additive information, nutritional values and allergen declaration.

Important Directions for Use

Use only according to the instructions provided by the clinic, hospital, doctor or diagnostic laboratory conducting the test.

1. Confirm that the healthcare facility requires a 75g oral glucose solution.
2. Check whether you should bring the bottle unopened to the clinic or laboratory.
3. Follow the fasting instructions supplied by the healthcare facility.
4. Do not consume the drink before the initial blood sample unless specifically instructed.
5. Shake the bottle if directed on the product label.
6. When instructed by the healthcare professional, consume the required volume within the time allowed.
7. Remain at the testing facility for all scheduled blood samples.
8. Follow the clinic’s restrictions regarding food, drinks, smoking, movement and medication during the test.

Many 75g OGTT protocols require the complete glucose drink to be consumed within a short, controlled period. Follow the healthcare facility’s exact timing rather than setting your own drinking time.

Fasting Instructions

A fasting period is commonly required before a 75g OGTT. However, the required fasting duration and permitted intake must be confirmed with the clinic or laboratory.

General preparation instructions may include:

• Do not eat during the specified fasting period.
• Drink only plain water if permitted by the healthcare facility.
• Continue a normal diet in the days before the test unless instructed otherwise.
• Inform the healthcare provider about all medicines and supplements being taken.
• Avoid smoking, chewing gum and strenuous exercise when instructed.
• Attend the test at the scheduled time.

Do not rely solely on this product page for test preparation. Incorrect fasting or consumption timing may affect the validity of the test.

During the Test

After drinking the glucose solution, the patient may be required to:

• Remain seated or resting at the testing facility.
• Avoid eating until the test has been completed.
• Avoid drinks other than water, unless otherwise instructed.
• Avoid smoking, vaping or chewing gum.
• Avoid unnecessary walking or physical activity.
• Return for blood collection at the exact scheduled times.
• Tell the healthcare staff immediately if nausea, vomiting, dizziness or faintness occurs.

Possible Effects During an OGTT

Because GLUCONIQ 75 contains a concentrated glucose load, some individuals may temporarily experience:

• Nausea.
• A feeling of excessive sweetness.
• Abdominal fullness or discomfort.
• Sweating.
• Dizziness or light-headedness.
• Headache.
• Vomiting.
• Weakness or shakiness later during the test.

Inform the attending healthcare professional immediately if you feel unwell.

If vomiting occurs before the required glucose has been absorbed, the test may be invalid and may need to be stopped or repeated on another date. The decision must be made by the attending healthcare professional.

Who Should Not Use GLUCONIQ 75 Without Medical Direction?

Do not consume GLUCONIQ 75 independently if:

• You have not been instructed to undergo an OGTT or MOGTT.
• You have known diabetes and the test has not been specifically ordered.
• You are acutely ill or experiencing an infection.
• You recently underwent surgery or experienced significant trauma.
• You have a condition that affects stomach emptying or glucose absorption.
• You cannot safely consume the complete required volume.
• You have been instructed to use a different glucose dose.
• The product is intended for a child without a clinician-calculated dose.

A standard adult bottle contains 75g of dextrose. Paediatric glucose-test doses may be calculated according to body weight and should be determined by the responsible clinician or laboratory.

Precautions and Warnings

• For diagnostic-test use under professional direction.
• Do not use as an ordinary beverage.
• Do not use as a routine energy drink.
• Do not use to self-treat hypoglycaemia unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.
• Do not consume before arriving at the clinic unless the clinic has instructed you to do so.
• Do not divide the bottle into multiple servings for a standard 75g test unless directed.
• Do not add water, ice, juice or other ingredients unless permitted by the testing facility.
• Do not consume food during the testing period unless instructed.
• Inform the healthcare provider if you are taking medicines that can affect blood-glucose results.
• Do not use if the bottle is leaking, damaged, swollen or improperly sealed.
• Do not use after the stated expiry date.
• Keep out of the reach of children.

Can a Person With Diabetes Drink GLUCONIQ 75?

People with known diabetes should not independently perform a glucose tolerance test or consume a 75g glucose solution unless the test has been specifically ordered and supervised by a qualified healthcare professional.

Alternative blood tests may be more appropriate depending on the person’s clinical circumstances.

Can GLUCONIQ 75 Be Used to Treat Low Blood Sugar?

GLUCONIQ 75 is formulated to provide a diagnostic 75g glucose load. It is not designed as a standard home treatment for hypoglycaemia.

Hypoglycaemia treatment typically uses a smaller, controlled amount of fast-acting carbohydrate followed by reassessment. Anyone at risk of low blood sugar should follow their personalised treatment plan and seek urgent help for severe symptoms.

Storage Instructions

• Store according to the temperature stated on the bottle.
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Do not freeze.
• Keep the bottle sealed until required for the test.
• Do not use if the seal has been broken or tampered with.
• Do not use after the expiry date.
• Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
