Information Intended Exclusively for Healthcare Professionals:
Warnings and Precautions for Use
To Ensure Safe Administration of Dipeptiven, Do Not Exceed the Maximum Daily Dose of 2.5 ml/kg Body Weight per Day (Equivalent to 0.5 g of N(2)-L-alanyl-L-glutamine). Dipeptiven Should be Used Only as Part of Clinical Nutrition, and its Dosage Should be Adjusted According to the Amount of Protein/Amino Acids Required to be Delivered. If the Patient's Clinical Condition Does Not Allow for Clinical Nutrition (e.g., Circulatory Shock, Hypoxemia, Unstable Patients in Critical Condition, Severe Metabolic Acidosis), Dipeptiven Should Not be Administered. When Calculating the Recommended Dose of Dipeptiven, Consider the Amount of Glutamine Contained in the Oral/Enteral Products Taken in Combination with Parenteral Nutrition. It is Recommended to Regularly Monitor Liver Function Parameters in Patients with Stabilized Liver Failure. Monitor Serum Electrolyte Concentrations, Serum Osmolality, Water Balance, Acid-Base Balance, Creatinine Clearance, Urea Concentration, as Well as Potential Symptoms of Hyperammonemia. The Choice of Peripheral or Central Vein Depends on the Final Osmolality of the Mixture. In General, an Osmolality of Approximately 800 mOsm/l is Considered the Upper Limit for Peripheral Infusion, but this Value Varies Greatly Depending on the Patient's Age and General Condition, as Well as the Condition of the Peripheral Veins. Experience with the Use of Dipeptiven for a Period Longer than Nine Days is Limited.
Dosage and Administration
Infusion Solution Obtained After Mixing Dipeptiven with a Pharmaceutically Compatible Solution. Solutions with an Osmolality Exceeding 800 mOsm/l Should be Administered into a Central Vein. Adult Patients: Dipeptiven is Used in Parenteral or Enteral Nutrition, or in Both Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition. The Dosage Depends on the Severity of the Catabolic State and the Need for Amino Acids/Protein. During Parenteral/Enteral Nutrition, Do Not Exceed the Maximum Daily Dose of 2 g of Amino Acids/Protein per Kilogram of Body Weight. In Calculations, Consider the Content of Alanine and Glutamine in Dipeptiven. The Proportion of Amino Acids from Dipeptiven Should Not Exceed Approximately 30% of the Total Amino Acid/Protein Intake. Dipeptiven is a Concentrate for Solution for Infusion and is Not Intended for Direct Administration. Patients Receiving Parenteral Nutrition: The Infusion Rate Depends on the Type of Carrier Solution and Should Not Exceed 0.1 g of Amino Acids/kg Body Weight per Hour. Dipeptiven Should be Mixed with a Compatible Amino Acid Solution or Nutritional Mixture Containing Amino Acids Before Administration. Patients Receiving Enteral Nutrition: Dipeptiven Should be Administered in a Continuous Infusion Over 20 to 24 Hours per Day. During Infusion into Peripheral Veins, Dipeptiven Should be Diluted to Achieve an Osmolality ≤ 800 mOsm/l (e.g., 100 ml of Dipeptiven + 100 ml of Physiological Saline Solution). Patients Receiving Both Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition: The Total Daily Dose of Dipeptiven Should be Administered in Parenteral Nutrition, e.g., by Mixing it with a Compatible Amino Acid Solution or Nutritional Mixture Containing Amino Acids Before Administration. The Infusion Rate Depends on the Type of Carrier Solution and Should be Adjusted According to the Proportion of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition. Duration of Use: The Duration of Use Should Not Exceed 3 Weeks.
