- Hypoproteinemia
- malnutrition
View approved original textHide original text
Amino acids may be deficient in conditions such as hypoproteinemia and malnutrition, as well as before and after surgery. Therefore, the supply of amino acids in these conditions is very important. It helps to improve nutritional status by aiding protein synthesis in the body and promotes recovery while maintaining immunity. Especially before and after surgery, it is effective in supplementing the nutrients necessary for tissue healing and recovery. Therefore, amino acid supply is used for hypoproteinemia, malnutrition, and before and after surgery.

Precautions
This medication should only be used according to a doctor's instructions. It should not be administered to patients with hepatic coma or those at risk of hepatic coma, patients with severe renal impairment, and patients with hyperammonemia or certain metabolic disorders. It is also safe not to use in patients with heart failure, pulmonary edema, oliguria, anuria, hypernatremia, or hyperkalemia. Additionally, it should not be used in patients with atrioventricular block, myasthenia gravis, hereditary amino acid metabolism disorders, or those who have allergies to the amino acids contained in this medication. Caution should be taken when administering to patients with severe acidosis, congestive heart failure, edema due to sodium retention, hepatic or renal impairment. This medication contains sodium bisulfite, which may cause allergic reactions or asthma attacks in some patients, so caution is required. During administration, various side effects such as rash, nausea, vomiting, chest discomfort, palpitations, and increased blood pressure may occur, and if symptoms arise, medical personnel should be consulted immediately. Rapid infusion of large amounts may lead to acidosis, and rarely, serious symptoms such as chills, fever, headache, and dyspnea may occur. Patients with liver or kidney failure may have changes in blood test values, so periodic testing is necessary. Electrolyte balance should be carefully monitored during administration, especially when used with electrolyte solutions. Diabetic patients should frequently check their blood sugar levels, and when administering amino acid solutions alone, ketone bodies may accumulate, so it is advisable to administer with carbohydrates. The safety of this medication in pregnant women has not been established, and it should only be administered when the therapeutic effect outweighs the risk. Infants and young children may have immature liver function, so doses should be reduced and blood ammonia levels should be tested frequently. Elderly patients may have decreased bodily functions, so the rate of administration should be slow and the dosage adjusted. Infusion should be done slowly through the vein, as rapid infusion may cause chills or vomiting. The solution should be adjusted to body temperature for use and must be prepared and managed in a sterile condition to reduce the risk of infection. Before use, check that the solution is clear and without abnormalities, and do not use solutions that are discolored or leaked. During storage, it should be kept in a sealed container to prevent exposure to air, and it is important to maintain a storage temperature between 1 degree and 30 degrees Celsius. Storing it this way ensures that the medication's effectiveness is safely maintained.
