Dosage and Administration

Adult dosage

This medication is provided alongside glucose and other sources that can adequately supply calories through non-oral nutritional therapy.

Precautions

This medication must be used strictly according to a physician's instructions and should not be used arbitrarily without a prescription. It should not be administered to patients with allergic reactions to its components, those with severely impaired liver function, or patients with severe kidney disease. Use should also be avoided in patients with congenital amino acid metabolism disorders or those with heart failure, pulmonary edema, or oliguria. Particular caution is needed for specific patient groups, such as those with severe dehydration or electrolyte imbalances, and for those with impaired liver or kidney function. Dosage should be adjusted based on the patient's condition. During the administration of this medication, severe side effects such as allergic reactions or anaphylaxis may occur, so careful monitoring is necessary. During non-oral nutrition therapy, blood ammonia levels may rise, necessitating regular blood tests to monitor the condition. If any abnormal symptoms occur, administration should be stopped immediately. Additionally, electrolyte concentrations, blood glucose, fluid balance, and liver and kidney function should be regularly assessed to ensure they remain normal. This medication should be administered alongside appropriate energy sources, and particularly when combined with glucose, blood sugar and urine glucose levels should be carefully monitored. In the case of overdose, issues such as increased blood volume, electrolyte imbalance, and acidosis may arise, so the infusion rate should be adjusted and stopped immediately if abnormal symptoms occur. The safety of this medication has not been fully established for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and it should only be used when the therapeutic benefits outweigh the risks. In the case of children and the elderly, special caution is needed as physiological functions may differ; particularly in infants under 2 years old, administration should be done carefully while maintaining a shaded condition. This medication is for single use only; it should be used immediately after opening and any remaining contents should be discarded. When storing, avoid direct sunlight and keep at room temperature. Do not use if the contents are discolored or cloudy, or if the packaging is damaged. Finally, maintain strict aseptic conditions while preparing and administering this medication to reduce the risk of infection.
