Can coconut juice be used for intravenous infusion

Coconut juice cannot be used for intravenous infusion. Infusion requires strictly sterile and precisely formulated medical fluids, and coconut juice cannot meet medical requirements without professional treatment. Coconut juice is a natural plant liquid that contains electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and a small amount of sugar, but its concentration is unstable and may contain microorganisms or impurities. Direct input into the human body may lead to electrolyte imbalance, allergic reactions, or infection risks.

Medical infusion preparations such as physiological saline and glucose injection require sterilization treatment, and precise control of osmotic pressure and pH value to ensure compatibility with human blood. Coconut juice cannot meet these standards without purification and sterilization. In extreme emergency situations, there have been cases of using filtered coconut juice as a substitute for intravenous fluids, but it requires professional medical personnel to operate and continuously monitor. This approach carries high risks and may lead to serious complications such as hemolysis and renal dysfunction. If dehydration symptoms occur in daily life, it is recommended to take oral rehydration salts or seek medical treatment with regular intravenous infusion. For situations that require intravenous infusion, medical preparations should be strictly used to avoid attempting alternative solutions on one's own. When severe dehydration or electrolyte imbalance occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
