Unigly G 6 warnings
Safe, effective use of parenteral nutrition requires a knowledge of nutrition as well as clinical expertise in recognition and treatment of complications which can occur. Frequent evaluation and laboratory determinations are necessary for proper monitoring of parenteral nutrition. Peripheral infusion therapy is intended to provide nutritional support for a limited period of time. If a patient requires an extended period of nutritional support, enteral or parenteral regimens should include nonprotein calories adequate for weight maintenance.
The electrolyte pattern of this medicine is designed for maintenance only during peripheral infusion therapy in adults. Abnormal losses should be monitored and replaced as required.
During peripheral vein infusion of this medicine, care should be taken to assure proper placement of the needle or catheter.
The utilization of hypertonic solutions has been associated with an increased incidence of phlebitis. The incidence of phlebitis with this medicine was marginally higher than that observed with a less hypertonic solution. Phlebitis can be minimized by using an in-line filter and/or by changing the site of infusion.
To minimize the risk of possible incompatibilities arising from mixing this solution with other additives that may be prescribed, the final infusate should be inspected for cloudiness or precipitation immediately after mixing, prior to administration, and periodically during administration.
Use only if solution is clear and vacuum is present.
Drug product contains no more than 25 µg/L of aluminum.
