Efficacy & effects

Improvement of nutritional status through trace element supply.

View approved original text

This medication is used to supplement trace elements such as zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and chromium that are necessary when providing parenteral nutrition. These trace elements are essential for various physiological functions in the body and help restore balance in malnourished conditions. Thus, it helps prevent shortages of trace elements during intravenous nutrition and maintains normal metabolism and immune functions. Adequate supply of trace elements promotes recovery of the patient's health and improves nutritional status.

For metabolically stable patients receiving parenteral nutrition: Zinc 2.5 to 4mg per day Copper 0.5 to 1.5mg per day Manganese 0.15 to 0.8mg per day Chromium 10 to 15μg per day Selenium 20 to 40μg per day Other: For metabolically stable patients with small bowel fluid loss: additional 12.2mg/L (amount of fluid loss) or 17.1.

Precautions

This drug should not be used in premature infants or newborns because it contains an ingredient called benzyl alcohol, which can cause life-threatening respiratory problems in premature infants. This drug must not be injected into the vein undiluted. Injecting it undiluted can cause phlebitis (inflammation of the veins). Because it is a hypoosmolar solution, it should only be used when mixed with other medications for injection. Administering it alone can pose problems. If any toxic symptoms appear during administration, the injection should be stopped immediately. Due to the aluminum component in the parenteral nutrition solution, patients with impaired kidney function, especially premature infants with immature kidneys, face a higher risk of toxicity with prolonged use. Although the zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, and selenium included in this drug are in small amounts, adhering to the prescribed dosage is vital to prevent toxic symptoms. Before administration, the physician must accurately assess the patient's condition and the required metabolic dosage, and frequently check the concentration of trace elements in the blood to adjust the dosage as necessary. Patients with impaired kidney function should be cautious as zinc can accumulate in the body. Patients with biliary obstruction should be cautious due to the risk of copper and manganese accumulation in the body. Chromium is mainly excreted through the kidneys and may affect blood glucose control, so diabetes patients should check for interactions with their diabetes medications. When administering selenium to patients with kidney or gastrointestinal issues, the dose should be adjusted, and blood transfusion patients should consider the effects of the transfusion. The safety of administering this drug during pregnancy is not established, so it should be used only when the therapeutic benefits outweigh the risks for women who are pregnant or potentially pregnant. Overdose may present with toxic symptoms such as zinc, copper, chromium, and selenium toxicity, so the prescribed dosage must be strictly followed, and if symptoms occur, healthcare professionals should be informed immediately. This drug must be used strictly according to a physician's prescription, and aseptic conditions should be maintained when added to parenteral nutrition solutions. Before use, check for discoloration or particles in the solution, and do not use it if abnormalities are detected.
