Adults and elderly people
The usual dose of VAMIN 14 WITHOUT ELECTROLYTES in adults for maintaining body protein mass depends on the patient's clinical situation (nutritional status and degree of metabolic stress). The requirements are 0.10-0.15 g nitrogen/kg body weight/day (without metabolic stress or with mild metabolic stress and normal nutritional status), 0.15-0.20 g nitrogen/kg body weight/day (moderate metabolic stress with or without malnutrition), and up to 0.20-0.25 g nitrogen/kg body weight/day (severe catabolism as in burns, sepsis, and trauma). The dose range of 0.10-0.25 g nitrogen/kg body weight/day corresponds to 7-18 ml of VAMIN 14 WITHOUT ELECTROLYTES/kg body weight/day. In obese patients, the dose should be based on the estimated ideal body weight.
Depending on the patient's requirements, up to 1000 ml of VAMIN 14 WITHOUT ELECTROLYTES can be infused intravenously over 24 hours. In patients with markedly increased amino acid requirements, Vamin 18 without electrolytes can be used.
VAMIN 14 WITHOUT ELECTROLYTES should be infused slowly, at a rate not exceeding 1000 ml in 8 hours, corresponding to approximately 2 ml per minute.
