Indications/Uses
It is used to improve the nutritional status in postoperative patients and patients with hypoproteinemia, which is caused by various reasons.
Dosage/Direction for Use
The total daily dose of the solution depends on the daily protein requirement and on the patient's metabolic and clinical response.
When it is administered by peripheral intravenous drip, 250-750 mL/day is usually given to adults by slow intravenous drip. Injection speed: Infuse Amino Acids, which is equivalent to about 5 g or 7 g of Amino Acid (100 mL of the product) per hour. Instill slowly at a speed at a speed of about 25 drops per minute. Slow instillation is more needed in the elderly and critically ill patients. In view of the utilization of amino acids, the product should be co-administrated with glucose solution or lipid emulsion.
When it is administered by central intravenous infusion, 500-750 mL/day is given to adults. After being mixed with glucose, lipid emulsion and other nutritive factors, the product is infused successively (used successively for 16-24 hours) through central or peripheral vein by normal parenteral nutrition support method. Increase or reduce the dose appropriately by following a doctor's advice according to the conditions like age, symptoms, weight, etc.
Contraindications
It is forbidden to use in patients with renal insufficiency, severe uremia and amino acid dysbolism.
Warnings

5% w/v: When it is administered by peripheral intravenous infusion, hyperosmotic state is observed because glucose is added. Therefore, the instillation speed must be kept slow.
Crystallization may be observed when the product is cooled. Heat the drug solution to 60°C and use it after the crystals are completely dissolved by shaking slowly.
The drug solution, whose bottle is opened, should be used up at one time. The remaining drug solution cannot be re-used by storage.
7% w/v: The dripping speed should be controlled strictly.
As the product is a kind of hydrochloride, infusion in a high dose may cause acid-base disorder. When in high dose is used or the product is co-administrated with electrolyte infusion, the balance between electrolyte and acid-base should be paid attention to.
The product cannot be re-used by storage after it is opened.
