“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
This is a sterile aqueous solution of 7% amino acids IV infusion and 10% glucose with electrolytes, which are necessary as nitrogen sources for parenteral nutrition. Nitrogen is provided in the form of essential and non essential amino acids. This contains all 18 essential and non-essential amino acids needed for protein synthesis. The amino acid composition is such that positive nitrogen balance can be achieved in the postoperative period and during extended periods of intravenous nutrition.
A crystalline amino acid solution provides crystalline amino acids to promote protein synthesis and wound healing, and to reduce the rate of endogenous protein catabolism. Amino Acids given by central venous infusion in combination with concentrated dextrose, electrolytes, vitamins, trace metals, and ancillary fat supplements, constitutes total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Amino Acids can also be administered by peripheral vein with dextrose and maintenance electrolytes.
