Efficacy & effects

Improvement of hypoalbuminemia and malnutrition

  • Hypoalbuminemia
  • malnutrition
View approved original text

In cases of hypoalbuminemia, malnutrition, and conditions before and after surgery, the supply of amino acids and sugars is crucial. These nutrients are essential for protein synthesis and energy supply in the body, aiding in recovery of bodily functions and strengthening immunity. Sufficient supply of amino acids and sugars is necessary to improve and assist in recovery from these conditions.

How it is given

Adult administration

As total amino acids, a maximum dosage of 1 to 1.5 grams per kg of body weight per day is preferred, with an infusion rate where the concentration of total amino acids is about 10 grams over 60 minutes. The infusion rate should be administered at a rate of 25 to 30 drops per minute. Central venous administration is the principle.

Child administration

In pediatric cases, the dosage and infusion rate should be appropriately adjusted.

Precautions

This medication must be used strictly according to a physician's instructions. It should not be mixed with other medications containing calcium, such as ceftriaxone, when administered intravenously. Using the same infusion device for simultaneous administration may lead to the formation of dangerous precipitates. This medication should not be administered to patients with severe liver dysfunction or hepatic coma, patients with severely impaired kidney function, or patients with severe heart failure or pulmonary edema. Additionally, it is safe not to use in cases of hypernatremia, atrioventricular block, myasthenia gravis, metabolic acidosis, and diabetic complications excluding hypoglycemia, as well as in infants. Careful administration is required for patients with heart failure, kidney failure, liver dysfunction, pancreatic disorders, diabetes, dehydration, etc., and the patient's condition should be closely monitored during administration. Various adverse reactions such as acidosis, hypersensitivity reactions, gastrointestinal symptoms, palpitations, elevated blood pressure, chills, fever, vascular pain, headache, peripheral vascular dilation, hypophosphatemia, alkalosis, hyperglycemia, osmotic diuresis, dehydration, rebound hypoglycemia, elevated liver enzymes, vitamin deficiencies, vitamin excess, electrolyte imbalances, hyperammonemia in children, intolerance reactions, osmotic diuresis, and dizziness may occur during the administration of this medication, so caution is needed. Particularly, when administered rapidly in large volumes, serious side effects such as acidosis or hyperazotemia may occur, so the infusion rate should be adjusted. This medication can affect blood sugar, electrolytes, and acid-base balance, so regular monitoring and management of blood sugar and electrolyte status are required. Excessive fluid supply should be avoided in patients with kidney, lung, or heart disease, and diabetic patients should monitor blood sugar levels frequently. During pregnancy, safety has not been established, so it should only be administered under a physician’s judgment when absolutely necessary. It should not be used in infants and it is preferable to use specially formulated amino acid preparations for pediatric patients. Elderly patients should have the infusion rate slowed and dosage adjusted due to decreased physiological function. In case of overdose, symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, osmotic diuresis may appear, and in severe cases, discontinuation of the medication and professional treatment is necessary. This medication is a hypertonic preparation and should only be administered slowly via central venous access, and strict aseptic conditions must be maintained during administration. When storing, keep it in a sealed container away from air and light at room temperature, and do not use expired products. The mixed solution is stable for 24 to 28 hours, so it must be used within this period.
