B05BA10 • amino acids + lipids + electrolytes • Blood and blood forming organs | I.v. solutions | Solutions for parenteral nutrition

The combination of amino acids, lipids, and electrolytes is used in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for patients who cannot be fed orally or enterally. It is essential for maintaining metabolic functions, preventing malnutrition, and supporting healing processes.

Amino acids are included for protein synthesis and muscle mass maintenance. Lipids provide energy and essential fatty acids, while electrolytes help maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and normal cellular functions.

This combination is indicated in cases of severe malnutrition, multiple organ failure, extensive burns, or other critical conditions. It is administered intravenously under strict medical supervision.

Side effects may include electrolyte imbalances, allergic reactions, or metabolic overload, especially in patients with liver or kidney impairment. Close monitoring of liver and kidney function and electrolyte balance is essential.

Patients must strictly follow their doctor’s instructions, and treatment should be adjusted based on individual needs.
