Diabetes patients are eligible for VAT exemption, meaning that if you have diabetes you do not need to pay VAT on items such as blood glucose monitors, test strips, lancets and other periphery diabetes products.
Rapilose OGTT Solution is a ready-to-drink glucose solution designed for use during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Each 300ml pouch provides the equivalent of 75g anhydrous glucose, the standard adult glucose load used for diagnostic glucose tolerance testing.
Key features:
- Ready-to-drink oral glucose tolerance test solution
- Provides the equivalent of 75g anhydrous glucose per 300ml pouch
- Designed for use during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
- No weighing, measuring or mixing of glucose required
- Orange flavoured
- Non-carbonated
- Contains no added colour
- Gluten-free
- Lactose-free
- Fat-free
- Caffeine-free

- Suitable for adult and paediatric OGTT protocols when appropriately dosed
Ingredients:
Water, Glucose Syrup, Glucose Monohydrate, Orange Flavouring (Artificial and Natural), Citric Acid (Acidity Regulator), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative).
How to use:
Rapilose OGTT should be used as directed by a doctor or other healthcare professional as part of a properly conducted Oral Glucose Tolerance Test.
For adults, the standard glucose load is the full 300ml pouch, providing the equivalent of 75g anhydrous glucose. In standard OGTT protocols, the solution is generally consumed within approximately 5 minutes after the fasting blood sample has been taken.
For children weighing less than 43kg, the glucose dose is weight-dependent. A commonly used dose is 7ml per kg body weight, equivalent to 1.75g glucose/kg, up to a maximum of 300ml/75g glucose.
Important information:
An Oral Glucose Tolerance Test is a diagnostic procedure and should be carried out according to instructions from a healthcare professional.
Standard protocols usually require an overnight fast of approximately 8–14 hours before the test, with plain water permitted. The patient should remain at rest during the test and should not smoke. A fasting blood sample is taken before the glucose drink and a further blood sample is normally taken 2 hours afterwards. Different protocols apply during pregnancy and in some specialist investigations.
Do not use if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients.
Some people may experience nausea or feel unwell after consuming a concentrated glucose solution.
Store below 25°C. After opening, refrigerate and use within 3 days.
