    • Limitations of Use: Safety has not been established for parenteral nutrition in adults weighing less than 45 kg or pediatric patients less than 12 years of age or weighing less than 40 kg due to the risk of aluminum toxicity.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

  • hyperkalemia
  • hyperphosphatemia
  • hypercalcemia or significant hypocalcemia
  • severe renal impairment (eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73m2) and end stage renal disease

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

  • Serious Cardiac Adverse Reactions with Undiluted, Bolus, or Rapid Intravenous Administration: Administer only after dilution or admixing; do not exceed the recommended infusion rate. Continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring may be needed during infusion.
  • Pulmonary Embolism due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates: If signs of pulmonary distress occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation.
  • Hyperkalemia: Increased risk in patients with renal impairment, severe adrenal insufficiency, or treated with drugs that increase potassium. Patients with cardiac disease may be more susceptible. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount of potassium or the recommended infusion rate. Continuous ECG monitoring may be needed during infusion.
  • Hyperphosphatemia and Hypocalcemia: Monitor serum phosphorus and calcium concentrations during and following infusion.
  • Aluminum Toxicity: Increased risk in patients with renal impairment, including preterm infants.
  • Hypomagnesemia: Reported in patients with hypercalcemia and diabetic ketoacidosis. Monitor serum magnesium concentrations during treatment.
  • Vein Damage and Thrombosis: Infuse concentrated or hypertonic solutions through a central catheter.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

  • Use of Other Medications that Increase Potassium: Avoid use in patients receiving such products. If use cannot be avoided, closely monitor serum potassium concentrations.
