• Constant checking of serum electrolytes, fluid balance and acid-base balance is mandatory.
• Amino Acid 8% is used as long as required by therapy.

Due to the risk of contamination and incompatibility, amino acid solutions should not be combined with other medications. If it is necessary to add nutrients such as carbohydrates, lipid emulsions, electrolytes, vitamins, or trace elements to Amino Acid 8% for complete nutrition, strict aseptic conditions, proper mixing, and compatibility must be ensured.

This preparation should not be used in patients with disorders of amino acid metabolism, metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, low sodium (hyponatremia), low potassium (hypokalemia), kidney failure, decompensated heart failure, shock, or hypoxia. There are no adequate studies evaluating the safety of Amino Acid 8% during pregnancy and lactation.

Because of its specific formulation, using this product outside the recommended indications may lead to amino acid imbalance and serious metabolic complications.

Parenteral nutritional preparations

Amino Acid 8% should not be stored after mixing with other components. Store below 25°C and do not freeze. Shelf life is 36 months. Do not use after the expiry date or if the solution appears cloudy or the container is damaged. Keep out of reach of children.
