1. What is Aminoplasmal 15% and what is it used for
Aminoplasmal 15% is a solution administered to the patient through a small tube with a needle inserted into a vein (intravenous infusion).
The solution contains amino acids essential for the body's growth or recovery.
The patient will receive this medicine if they are unable to eat normally or cannot receive food through a tube inserted into the stomach. This solution can be administered to adults, adolescents, and children over 2 years of age.
2. Important information before using Aminoplasmal 15%
When not to use Aminoplasmal 15%:
- if the patient is allergic to the active substances or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if the patient has congenital defects of protein and amino acid metabolism;
- if the patient has severe (life-threatening) circulatory disorders (shock);
- if the patient has insufficient oxygen supply (hypoxia);
- if the patient's blood accumulates acidic substances (metabolic acidosis);
- if the patient has severe liver disease (severe liver failure);
- if the patient has severe kidney dysfunction (severe renal failure) not adequately treated with renal replacement therapy or similar therapies;
- if the patient has untreated congestive heart failure with significant circulatory impairment (decompensated heart failure);
- if the patient has fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema);
- if the patient has an excess of fluid in the body and swelling of the limbs (overhydration);
- if the patient's blood has abnormal fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.
This solution must not be administered to newborns, infants, and young children under 2 years of age, as the composition of the solution does not meet the special nutritional needs of children in this age group.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Aminoplasmal 15%, discuss it with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
If the patient has acquired protein metabolism disorders, the doctor will decide, after careful consideration, whether the patient cannot, may, or must receive this medicine.
If the patient has impaired heart function, the daily fluid intake will be carefully controlled to avoid overloading the circulatory system.
If the patient's blood has too high a concentration of dissolved substances, the doctor will exercise particular caution to avoid worsening this condition.
If the patient's liver or kidneys are not working properly, the daily dose of the medicine will be carefully adjusted according to the degree of liver or kidney dysfunction and the type of treatment.
If the patient has a water and salt deficiency, they will first receive an appropriate dose to correct this deficiency.
If the patient has a potassium or sodium deficiency, they will receive appropriate doses of these electrolytes.
During treatment with this medicine, the patient's blood electrolyte levels, blood sugar levels, fluid balance, acid-base balance, blood protein levels, and liver and kidney function will be closely monitored. For this purpose, blood and urine samples will be taken from the patient for analysis.
The patient will also receive carbohydrate solutions and possibly lipid emulsions to ensure complete parenteral nutrition. Additionally, if necessary, the patient will receive essential fatty acids, vitamins, fluids, trace elements, and electrolytes.
Children and adolescents
This solution is not suitable for children under 2 years of age due to its composition, and therefore should not be administered to them.
Other medicines and Aminoplasmal 15%
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is taking or has recently taken, as well as any medicines the patient plans to take.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy
There are no data on the use of Aminoplasmal 15% in pregnant women. If the patient is pregnant, this medicine will only be used if the doctor considers it essential. Aminoplasmal 15% should be administered to pregnant women only after careful consideration of the benefit-risk ratio.
Breastfeeding
When using Aminoplasmal 15% at therapeutic doses, no effect on the breastfed newborn/infant is expected. However, breastfeeding is not recommended during the period when the patient requires parenteral nutrition.

3. How to use Aminoplasmal 15%
Aminoplasmal 15% is administered by healthcare professionals.
The doctor will decide how much of this medicine is needed and how long it will be administered to the patient.
The solution is administered through a small plastic tube inserted directly into a vein.
Dosage
The amount of solution the patient will receive depends on their individual needs for amino acids, as well as their current condition and disease.
Adults
The usual dose is 6.7 ml to a maximum of 13.3 ml per kg of body weight per day.
This corresponds to a dose of 1.0 - 2.0 g of amino acids per kg of body weight per day.
The solution should be administered at a maximum rate of 0.67 ml per kg of body weight per hour.
Use in children
Aminoplasmal 15% must not be administered to children under 2 years of age (see section 2 "Important information before using Aminoplasmal 15%").
The dosage in children is determined individually based on age, stage of development, and clinical condition of the child.
The following information can be used as a guideline for the daily dose:
- For children from 2 to 4 years: 10 ml per kg of body weight per day, which corresponds to a dose of 1.5 g of amino acids per kg of body weight per day.
- For children from 5 to 13 years: 6.7 ml per kg of body weight per day, which corresponds to a dose of 1.0 g of amino acids per kg of body weight per day.
- Critically ill children: in the case of critically ill children, the required dose of amino acids may be higher (up to 3.0 g of amino acids/kg of body weight per day).
The infusion rate should not exceed 0.67 ml per kg of body weight per hour.
Patients with kidney or liver disease
If the patient has kidney or liver disease, the dose will be adjusted according to individual needs.
Duration of treatment

Method of administration
This medicine is administered to the patient by intravenous infusion (drip) into a large central vein.
Use of a higher dose of Aminoplasmal 15% than recommended
Overdose or too rapid infusion may be poorly tolerated, and the patient may experience nausea, vomiting, chills, and headache. Additionally, the patient's blood may accumulate too many acidic substances, and the patient may lose amino acids in the urine.
In such a situation, the infusion will be stopped and resumed after some time at a lower rate.

Information intended for healthcare professionals only:
AMINOPLASMAL 15% should only be mixed with other solutions for intravenous administration after prior confirmation of compatibility. Data on compatibility with various added substances (e.g., glucose, lipids, electrolytes, trace elements, vitamins) and the corresponding shelf-life of such mixtures can be provided upon request by the manufacturer.
From a microbiological point of view, mixtures should be administered immediately after preparation. If not administered immediately, the responsibility for the storage conditions and storage time of the mixtures before administration lies with the user, and the storage time should normally not exceed 24 hours at 2°C – 8°C, unless mixing has taken place in controlled and validated aseptic conditions.
It is essential to prepare such mixtures with strict adherence to aseptic principles, as this nutrient mixture promotes the growth of microorganisms.
Storage of the undiluted solution at temperatures below 15°C may lead to crystallization, which can be easily dissolved by carefully heating the solution to 25°C until complete dissolution. Shake the container gently to ensure homogeneity of the solution.
