1. What is Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free and what is it used for
Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free is a solution of amino acids used in adult patients for intravenous infusion. It contains both amino acids produced by the body and those not produced by the body, which are found in normal food. Amino acids administered in the form of a solution have nutritional properties. To be fully utilized, the body must also receive an adequate amount of carbohydrates and fats. Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free maintains a positive nitrogen balance (i.e., more nitrogen is taken in than excreted). This is important for maintaining proper nutrition. Indications for use: Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free is indicated for use as a source of amino acids in parenteral nutrition in adult patients. The drug is suitable for use especially in patients with moderately increased demand for amino acids.

When not to use Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free
Do not use the medicine:

- if the patient has uremia (a syndrome of symptoms caused by extreme impairment of kidney function), and dialysis is not possible.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free, discuss it with your doctor or nurse. Intravenous administration of amino acid solutions increases the excretion of trace elements - copper and zinc - in the urine. This is especially important in the case of long-term parenteral nutrition. The doctor should take this into account when determining the dose of copper and zinc in the patient's nutrition.

Information intended only for healthcare professionals:
Dosage and administration
Adult patients: the need for nitrogen necessary to maintain muscle mass depends on the patient's health status (nutritional status and degree of metabolic stress). The need is: 0.10 - 0.15 g of nitrogen/kg body weight/day (no or slight metabolic stress and normal nutritional status), 0.15 - 0.20 g of nitrogen/kg body weight/day (moderate metabolic stress with or without malnutrition), 0.20 - 0.25 g of nitrogen/kg body weight/day (severe catabolism, such as in burns, sepsis, and injuries). The dose range of 0.10 - 0.25 g of nitrogen/kg body weight/day corresponds to 7 - 18 ml of Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free/kg body weight/day. In obese patients, the dose should be calculated based on the estimated normal body weight. Depending on the patient's needs, up to 1000 ml of Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free can be administered per day by intravenous infusion. In patients with significantly increased demand for amino acids, a more concentrated Vamin 18 Electrolyte-Free can be used. Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free should be administered slowly, at a rate not exceeding 1000 ml in 8 hours, which corresponds to approximately 2 ml per minute (see Overdose section).
Overdose
If Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free is administered at a rate greater than recommended, an increased risk of nausea, vomiting, and sweating, as well as thrombophlebitis (when the medicine is administered into peripheral veins), has been observed. If symptoms of overdose occur, the infusion rate should be reduced or the infusion stopped.
Preparation of the medicine for use
The medicine should be used immediately after opening the packaging. Unused medicine is not suitable for further use.
Incompatibilities
Compatibility Other medicinal products can be added to Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free only if their pharmaceutical compatibility has been confirmed. The introduction of additional substances should be carried out in accordance with aseptic principles. Up to 1000 ml of Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free can be added: up to 20 ml of Addamel N, 480 mmol of NaCl, 480 mmol of KCl, 24 mmol of calcium glubionate, and 48 mmol of MgSO4. If phosphate administration is necessary, up to 60 ml of Addiphos can be added to 1000 ml of Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free, alone or in combination with 480 mmol of NaCl, 480 mmol of KCl, and 48 mmol of MgSO4. Note that inorganic phosphate-containing solutions should not be mixed with Addamel N due to the risk of precipitate formation. Mixing in a plastic bag (not containing phthalate) - example mixture for total parenteral nutrition: Mixing should be carried out in accordance with strict aseptic principles, in a laminar flow cabinet, and in the following order:
- 1. To Vamin 14 Electrolyte-Free can be added:
- Addamel N;
- Glycophos;
- electrolytes.
- 2. To glucose can be added:
- Addiphos or other inorganic phosphate source.
- 3. To Intralipid can be added:
