LAMINO 10% PLUS 1 BOTTLE

About

LEVAMIN 8% (or LAMINO 10% PLUS) is an intravenous amino acid solution designed to provide essential and non-essential amino acids for patients requiring parenteral nutrition. Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of proteins, crucial for tissue repair, muscle maintenance, enzyme synthesis, hormone production, and numerous metabolic processes. This solution is administered when patients are unable to meet their protein requirements through oral or enteral routes, such as in cases of severe malnutrition, extensive burns, major surgery, gastrointestinal disorders, or prolonged critical illness. It helps to maintain a positive nitrogen balance, prevent muscle wasting, and support overall recovery and immune function. The balanced composition ensures that the body receives the necessary amino acids to sustain vital physiological functions and promote anabolism, which is essential for healing and regaining strength in catabolic states.

Uses

• Parenteral nutrition for protein deficiency.
• Prevention of muscle wasting in catabolic states.
• Nutritional support during severe illness or post-surgery.
• Management of malnutrition in gastrointestinal disorders.

Directions For Use

Administer intravenously under strict medical supervision, typically as part of a total parenteral nutrition regimen. Dosage is individualized.

Benefits

• Supports protein synthesis and tissue repair.
• Prevents muscle breakdown and wasting.
• Provides essential metabolic energy.
• Aids in recovery from severe illness or surgery.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Not applicable for intravenous administration. Alcohol consumption is generally contraindicated in patients requiring parenteral nutrition due to underlying medical conditions.
• Pregnancy - Administer only if clearly needed and under strict medical supervision, considering the severe underlying condition necessitating parenteral nutrition.
• Breastfeeding - Administer only if clearly needed and under strict medical supervision, considering the severe underlying condition necessitating parenteral nutrition.
• Liver - Use with caution in severe liver disease (risk of hepatic encephalopathy); specific amino acid formulations may be required.
• Kidney - Use with caution in severe kidney disease; dosage adjustments and careful monitoring of fluid and electrolytes are essential.
• Lung - No direct significant interaction, but careful monitoring of fluid balance is crucial to prevent fluid overload, which can exacerbate pulmonary issues.
