The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only:
Posology and method of administration
Aminoven Infant 10% should be administered by continuous intravenous infusion through a central vein.
Maximum infusion rate:
Up to 0.1 g amino acids/kg body weight/hour = 1.0 ml/kg body weight/hour
Maximum daily dose:
-1 year of age: 1.5-2.5 g amino acids/kg body weight = 15-25 ml/kg body weight
-2-5 years of age: 1.5 g amino acids/kg body weight = 15 ml/kg body weight
-6-14 years of age: 1.0 g amino acids/kg body weight = 10 ml/kg body weight
The solution should be administered for as long as parenteral nutrition is required.
Method of administration:
When used in newborns and children under 2 years, the solution (in bags and administration equipment) should be protected from light exposure until the end of administration.
Special warnings and precautions for use
In pediatric parenteral nutrition, it is recommended to frequently evaluate and determine the following laboratory values: nitrogen-urea, ammonia, electrolytes, glucose, and triglycerides (in the case of lipid emulsion administration), acid-base balance, and serum osmolality, hepatic enzymes.
Infusion through peripheral veins can cause irritation of the vein intima and thrombophlebitis. To minimize the risk of vein irritation, daily checks of the infusion site should be carried out.
Aminoven Infant 10% can be used as part of a total parenteral nutrition regimen, in combination with adequate amounts of energy (carbohydrate solutions, lipid emulsions), electrolytes, vitamins, and trace elements.
Exposure to light of intravenous parenteral nutrition solutions, especially after mixing with oligoelements or vitamins, can have adverse effects on the clinical outcome of newborns due to the generation of peroxides and other degradation products. When used in newborns and children under 2 years, Aminoven Infant 10% should be protected from ambient light until the end of administration.
Overdose
As with other amino acid solutions, the following may occur: chills, vomiting, nausea, and increased renal loss of amino acids when an overdose of Aminoven Infant 10% is administered or if the recommended infusion rate is exceeded.
In this case, the infusion should be stopped immediately. It is possible to continue with a reduced dose. In the case of hyperkalemia, it is recommended to infuse 200-500 ml of 10% glucose solution with 1-3 units of modified insulin/3-5 g glucose.
If symptoms of overdose appear, the infusion should be slowed down or interrupted.
Incompatibilities
Due to the increased risk of microbiological contamination and incompatibilities, amino acid solutions should not be mixed with other medicines. Therefore, when it is necessary to add other nutrients such as carbohydrates, lipid emulsions, electrolytes, vitamins, or trace elements to Aminoven Infant 10% for complete parenteral nutrition, precautions should be taken, such as performing a hygienic mixture, carrying out a good mixture, and knowing the compatibility.
Aminoven Infant 10% should not be stored after the addition of other components.

When used in newborns and children under 2 years, the solution (in bags and administration equipment) should be protected from light exposure until the end of administration.
