1. What is PeriOlimel N4E and what is it used for

PeriOlimel is an emulsion for infusion. It comes in a bag with 3 chambers.

One chamber contains a glucose solution with calcium, the second contains a lipid emulsion, and the third contains an amino acid solution with other electrolytes.

PeriOlimel is used to feed adults and children over 2 years of age through a tube in a vein when normal feeding by mouth is not possible.

PeriOlimel should only be used under medical supervision.

2. What you need to know before PeriOlimel N4E is administered to you

PeriOlimel N4E must not be administered:

• To premature newborns, babies, and children under 2 years of age.
• If you are hypersensitive (allergic) to egg proteins, soybean proteins, peanut proteins, corn/maize products (see also the "Warnings and precautions" section below), or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
• If your body has problems using certain amino acids.
• If you have especially high levels of fat in the blood.
• If you have hyperglycemia (too much sugar in the blood).
• If you have an abnormally high amount of any electrolyte (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and/or phosphorus) in the blood.

In all cases, your doctor will decide whether you should be given this medicine based on factors such as your age, weight, and clinical condition, along with the results of all tests performed.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or nurse before PeriOlimel is administered to you.

Too rapid administration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions can cause injury or death.

The infusion must be stopped immediately if any abnormal signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction (such as sweating, fever, chills, headache, skin rash, or difficulty breathing) develop. This medicine contains soybean oil and egg phospholipids. Soybean and egg proteins can cause hypersensitivity reactions. Cross-allergic reactions have been observed between soybean and peanut proteins.

Periolimel contains corn-derived glucose, which may cause hypersensitivity reactions if you are allergic to corn or corn products (see "Periolimel N4E must not be administered" above).

Difficulty breathing could also be a sign that small particles have formed in the lungs, blocking blood vessels (pulmonary vascular precipitates). If you experience any difficulty breathing, inform your doctor or nurse. They will decide on the course of action.

The antibiotic called ceftriaxone must not be mixed or administered simultaneously with solutions containing calcium (including Periolimel) administered by drip into a vein.

These medicines must not be administered together, even through different lines or infusion sites.

However, Periolimel and ceftriaxone can be administered sequentially, one after the other, if infusion lines at different points are used, or if the infusion lines are replaced or thoroughly flushed with physiological saline solution between infusions to avoid the formation of precipitates (formation of ceftriaxone and calcium salt particles).

Certain medicines and diseases can increase the risk of developing infections or sepsis (bacteria in the blood). There is a risk of infection or sepsis, especially when a tube (intravenous catheter) is placed in a vein. Your doctor will closely monitor you for signs of infection.

Patients who require parenteral nutrition (administration of nutrients through a tube inserted into a vein) may be more prone to infections due to their medical condition. The use of "aseptic techniques" (without germs) when placing and maintaining the catheter and preparing the nutritional formula (TPN) can reduce the risk of infection.

If you are severely malnourished and need to receive feeding through a vein, your doctor will start treatment slowly. Additionally, you will be monitored to avoid sudden changes in your fluid, vitamin, electrolyte, and mineral levels.

Before starting the infusion, any metabolic disorders and water and salt balance in your body must be corrected. Your doctor will monitor your condition while you are being administered this medicine and may change the dose or add other nutrients, such as vitamins, electrolytes, and trace elements, if deemed necessary.

Cases of liver disorders, including problems with bile elimination (cholestasis), fat storage (hepatic steatosis), fibrosis, which may lead to liver failure, as well as cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, have been reported in patients receiving intravenous nutritional treatment. It is believed that the cause of these disorders is due to multiple factors and may differ between patients. If you experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, consult your doctor to identify possible causes and contributing factors, as well as possible therapeutic and preventive measures.

Your doctor should know if you have:

• any serious kidney problem. You should also inform your doctor if you are receiving dialysis treatment (artificial kidney) or if you have any other type of treatment to clean your blood.
• any serious liver problem.
• any blood coagulation problem.
• abnormal functioning of the adrenal glands (adrenal insufficiency). The adrenal glands are triangular in shape and are located above the kidneys.
• heart failure.
• lung disease.
• fluid accumulation in the body (hyperhydration).
• insufficient water in the body (dehydration).
• excess sugar in the blood (diabetes mellitus) without treatment for it.
• heart attack or shock due to sudden heart failure.
• severe metabolic acidosis (blood too acidic).
• generalized infection (septicemia).
• coma.

To check the effectiveness and safety of administration, your doctor will perform laboratory and clinical tests while you are being administered this medicine. If you are administered this medicine for several weeks, your blood will be regularly analyzed.

The decrease in the body's ability to eliminate the fats contained in this medicine can lead to a "fat overload syndrome" (see section 4 "Possible side effects").

If you notice pain, burning, or swelling at the infusion site or leakage of the infusion during administration, inform your doctor or nurse. The administration will be stopped immediately and resumed in another vein.

If your blood sugar levels rise too high, your doctor will adjust the rate of PeriOlimel administration or provide you with medication to control blood sugar levels (insulin).

PeriOlimel can be administered through a tube (catheter) connected to a vein in your arm or a large vein in your chest (central vein).

Children and adolescents

If your child is under 18 years of age, special attention will be paid to the administration of the correct dose. Additional precautions will also be taken due to the greater sensitivity of children to the risk of infection. Supplementation with vitamins and trace elements is always necessary. Pediatric formulations should be used.

Use of PeriOlimel with other medicines

Tell your doctor if you are taking or using, have recently taken or used, or may need to take or use any other medicine.

Simultaneous absorption of other medicines is generally not a contraindication. If you are taking other medicines, obtained with or without a prescription, you should consult your doctor in advance so that they can check if they are compatible.

Inform your doctor if you are taking or receiving any of the following medicines:

• insulin.
• heparin.

PeriOlimel must not be administered simultaneously with blood through the same infusion line.

PeriOlimel contains calcium. It must not be administered together or through the same line with the antibiotic ceftriaxone, as particles may form. If the same device is used to administer these medicines sequentially, it must be thoroughly flushed.

Due to the risk of precipitation, PeriOlimel must not be administered through the same infusion line or mixed with the antibiotic ampicillin or the antiepileptic fosphenytoin.

The olive and soybean oils present in PeriOlimel contain vitamin K. This usually does not affect blood-thinning medicines (anticoagulants) such as coumarin. However, if you take anticoagulants, you should inform your doctor.

The lipids contained in this emulsion can interfere with the results of certain laboratory tests if the blood sample is taken before they have been eliminated from your bloodstream (usually after a period of 5 to 6 hours without receiving lipids).

PeriOlimel contains potassium. Special care should be taken in patients who take diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists (medicines for high blood pressure), or immunosuppressants. These classes of medicines can increase potassium levels in the blood.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor before PeriOlimel is administered to you.

There is no adequate experience with the use of PeriOlimel in pregnant or breastfeeding women. PeriOlimel may be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding if necessary. PeriOlimel should only be administered to pregnant or breastfeeding women after careful consideration.

Driving and using machines

Not applicable.

3. How PeriOlimel N4E will be administered to you

Dose

PeriOlimel should only be administered to adults and children over 2 years of age.

It is an emulsion for infusion, i.e., for administration through a tube (catheter) connected to a vein in your arm or a large vein in your chest (central vein).

PeriOlimel should be at room temperature before use.

PeriOlimel is for single use.

Dose – Adults

Your doctor will determine an infusion rate based on your needs and clinical condition.

Administration can continue for as long as necessary, depending on your clinical condition.

Dose – Children over 2 years of age and adolescents

The doctor will decide on the dose and the duration of administration, based on age, weight, height, clinical condition, and the body's ability to break down and use the ingredients of PeriOlimel.

If you have been administered too much PeriOlimel N4E

If the administered dose is too high or the infusion is too rapid, the amino acid content can make your blood too acidic, and signs of hypervolemia (increased circulating blood volume) may occur. Your blood and urine glucose levels may increase, a hyperosmolar syndrome may develop, and the lipid content may increase triglycerides in your blood. Administration of an infusion that is too rapid or a volume that is too large can cause nausea, vomiting, chills, headache, fever, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and electrolyte disturbances. In this case, the infusion should be stopped immediately.

In some severe cases, your doctor may need to perform temporary renal dialysis to help your kidneys eliminate excess product.

To avoid these cases, your doctor will regularly monitor your condition and analyze your blood parameters.

If you have any further questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult the Toxicology Information Service. Phone 915.620.420

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. If you notice that you do not feel as you did before, inform your doctor or nurse immediately.

The tests that your doctor will perform while you are taking this medicine should minimize the risk of side effects.

If any abnormal signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as sweating, fever, chills, headache, skin rash, or difficulty breathing, develop, the infusion should be stopped immediately.

The following side effects have been reported with PeriOlimel:

Frequency – common: may affect up to 1 in 10 people

• Fast heart rate (tachycardia).

Pharmacotherapeutic group: solutions for parenteral nutrition / combinations

ATC code: B05 BA10.

• Qualitative and quantitative composition

PeriOlimel is presented in a 3-compartment bag. Each bag contains a glucose solution with calcium, a lipid emulsion, and an amino acid solution with other electrolytes.

After mixing the contents of the 3 compartments, the composition of the reconstituted emulsion is indicated in the following table for each bag size.

(a) Mixture of refined olive oil (approximately 80%) and refined soybean oil (approximately 20%) corresponding to a ratio of essential fatty acids / total fatty acids of 20%.

The excipients are:

The reconstituted emulsion provides the following for each bag size:

a Includes calories from purified egg phospholipids

b Includes phosphate provided by the lipid emulsion

• Dosage and administration

Dosage

PERIOLIMEL is not recommended for use in children under 2 years of age, as neither the composition nor the volume is suitable (see sections 4.4, 5.1, and 5.2 of the Technical Sheet).

The maximum daily dose mentioned below should not be exceeded. Due to the invariant composition of the multicompartimental bag, the ability to simultaneously meet all the patient's nutritional needs may not be possible. There may be clinical situations where the patient requires amounts of nutrients that vary from the composition of the bag. In this situation, any adjustment of volume (dose) should take into account the resulting effect on the dosing of the remaining PERIOLIMEL nutrients.

In adults

The dose depends on the patient's energy expenditure, clinical status, body weight, and ability to metabolize PERIOLIMEL components, as well as any additional energy or protein administered orally or enterally. Therefore, the appropriate bag size should be chosen.

The average daily needs are:

• 0.16 to 0.35 g of nitrogen/kg of body weight (1 to 2 g of amino acids/kg), depending on the patient's nutritional status and level of catabolic stress.
• 20 to 40 kcal/kg.
• 20 to 40 ml of fluid/kg, or 1 to 1.5 ml per kcal expended.

For PeriOlimel, the maximum daily dose is defined by fluid intake, 40 ml/kg, corresponding to 1 g/kg of amino acids, 3 g/kg of glucose, 1.2 g/kg of lipids, 0.8 mmol/kg of sodium, and 0.6 mmol/kg of potassium. For a 70 kg patient, this would be equivalent to 2800 ml of PeriOlimel per day, which would provide 71 g of amino acids, 210 g of glucose, and 84 g of lipids, i.e., 1680 non-protein calories and 1960 total calories.

Normally, the administration rate should be gradually increased during the first hour and then adjusted according to the dose being administered, daily volume intake, and infusion duration.

For PeriOlimel, the maximum infusion rate is 3.2 ml/kg/hour, corresponding to 0.08 g/kg/hour of amino acids, 0.24 g/kg/hour of glucose, and 0.10 g/kg/hour of lipids.

In children over 2 years and adolescents

No studies have been conducted in the pediatric population.

The dose depends on the patient's energy expenditure, clinical status, weight, and ability to metabolize PERIOLIMEL components, as well as any additional energy or protein administered orally or enterally. Therefore, the appropriate bag size should be chosen.

Additionally, daily fluid, nitrogen, and energy needs decrease continuously with age: Two age groups are considered, one between 2 and 11 years, and another between 12 and 18 years.

For PERIOLIMEL N4E, in both age groups, the magnesium concentration is the limiting factor for the daily dose. In the 2-11 year age group, the lipid concentration is the limiting factor for the hourly rate. In the 12-18 year age group, the glucose concentration is the limiting factor for the hourly rate. The resulting intakes are as follows:

a: Values recommended in the 2018 ESPGHAN/ESPEN/ESPR Guidelines

Normally, the administration rate should be gradually increased during the first hour and then adjusted according to the dose being administered, daily volume intake, and infusion duration.

In general, in the case of small children, it is recommended to start the infusion with a reduced daily dose and gradually increase it to the maximum dose (see previous point).

Form and duration of administration

For single use.

Once the bag is opened, it is recommended to use its contents immediately and not store it for subsequent infusions.

The appearance of the mixture after reconstitution is a homogeneous emulsion similar to milk.

For instructions on preparing and handling the emulsion for infusion, see section 6.6 of the Technical Sheet.

Due to its low osmolarity, PeriOlimel can be administered through a peripheral or central vein.

The recommended duration of infusion of a parenteral nutrition bag is between 12 and 24 hours.

Treatment with parenteral nutrition may continue for as long as the patient's clinical condition requires.

• Incompatibilities

No other medication or drug should be added to any of the components of the bag or to the reconstituted emulsion without first confirming the compatibility and stability of the resulting preparation (in particular the stability of the lipid emulsion).

Incompatibilities may occur due to, for example, excessive acidity (low pH) or inadequate content of divalent cations (Ca2+ and Mg2+), which can destabilize the lipid emulsion.

As with any parenteral nutrition mixture, the proportions of calcium and phosphate should be taken into account. Excessive addition of calcium and phosphate, especially in the form of mineral salts, can cause the formation of calcium phosphate precipitates.

PERIOLIMEL contains calcium ions, which poses an additional risk of coagulation in anticoagulated/preserved blood with citrate, or its components.

Ceftriaxone should not be mixed or administered with intravenous solutions containing calcium, including PERIOLIMEL, through the same infusion line (e.g. Y-connector) due to the risk of ceftriaxone precipitation with calcium salt (see sections 4.4 and 4.5 of the Technical Sheet). Ceftriaxone and calcium-containing solutions can be administered sequentially one after the other if infusion lines are used at different points, or if infusion lines are replaced or flushed.

Due to the risk of precipitation, PERIOLIMEL should not be administered through the same infusion line or mixed with ampicillin or fosphenytoin.

Check compatibility with solutions administered simultaneously through the same administration equipment, catheter, or cannula.

It should not be administered before, simultaneously, or after blood through the same equipment due to the risk of pseudoagglutination.

• Special precautions for elimination and other manipulations

In Table 1, an overview of the preparation steps for the administration of PERIOLIMEL is provided.

To open

Remove the protective overbag.

Discard the packet with the oxygen absorber.

Confirm the integrity of the bag and the non-permanent seals. Use it only if the bag is not damaged, the non-permanent seals are intact (i.e., the contents of the three compartments have not been mixed), if the amino acid solution and the glucose solution are transparent, colorless, or slightly yellowish, practically free of visible particles, and if the lipid emulsion is a homogeneous liquid with a milky appearance.

Mixing of solutions and emulsion

Ensure that the product is at room temperature when the non-permanent seals are broken.

Manually roll the bag over itself, starting from the top of the bag (hanger end). The non-permanent seals will disappear from the side close to the entrances. Continue rolling until the seals are open approximately halfway through their length.

Mix the bag by inverting it at least 3 times.

The appearance after reconstitution is a homogeneous emulsion similar to milk.

Additions

The bag has sufficient capacity for vitamins, electrolytes, and trace elements to be added.

Any addition (including vitamins) must be made to the reconstituted mixture (after breaking the non-permanent seals and mixing the contents of the three compartments).

Vitamins can also be added to the glucose compartment before reconstituting the mixture (before breaking the non-permanent seals and mixing the contents of the three compartments).

When additions are made to formulations containing electrolytes, the amount of electrolytes already present in the bag must be taken into consideration.

Additions must be carried out by qualified personnel under aseptic conditions.

PERIOLIMEL can be supplemented with electrolytes according to the following table:

a Value corresponding to the addition of inorganic phosphate

b Including phosphate provided by the lipid emulsion

Trace elements and vitamins:

Stability has been demonstrated with commercially available preparations of vitamins and trace elements (containing up to 1 mg of iron).

Compatibility with other additives can be consulted upon request.

When making additions, the final osmolarity of the mixture should be measured before administering it through a peripheral vein.

To make an addition:

• It must be carried out under aseptic conditions.
• Prepare the injection point of the bag.
• Puncture the injection point and inject the additives using a syringe or a reconstitution device.
• Mix the contents of the bag and the additives.

Preparation of infusion

It must be carried out under aseptic conditions.

Hang the bag.

Remove the plastic protector from the administration outlet.

Firmly insert the tip of the infusion equipment into the administration outlet.

Table 1: Preparation steps for the administration of PERIOLIMEL

Administration

For single use only

Administer the product only after the non-permanent seals between the three compartments have been broken and the contents of the three compartments have been mixed.

Ensure that the final emulsion for infusion does not show any phase separation.

After opening the bag, its contents should be used immediately. The opened bag should never be stored for subsequent infusion. Do not reconnect a partially used bag.

Do not connect bags in series to avoid the risk of air embolism due to the air present in the first bag.

All unused medication, materials that have come into contact with it, and all necessary devices should be discarded.

Extravasation

The catheter area should be regularly inspected to identify signs of extravasation.

If extravasation occurs, administration should be stopped immediately, keeping the cannula or catheter in place for immediate patient treatment. If possible, aspiration should be performed through the inserted cannula/catheter to reduce the amount of fluid present in the tissues before removing the cannula/catheter. When an extremity is affected, the affected limb should be elevated.

Specific measures should be taken depending on the stage or extent of any injury caused by the extravasated product (including any products mixed with PERIOLIMEL).

Treatment options may include pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and/or surgical intervention. In the case of significant extravasation, a plastic surgeon should be consulted within the first 72 hours.

The extravasation area should be inspected at least every 4 hours during the first 24 hours and then once a day.

Infusion should not be resumed in the same peripheral or central vein.
