HepatAmine Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Amino Acid
HepatAmine Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Amino Acid
SIDE EFFECTS
See WARNINGS and Special
Precautions for Central Venous Nutrition.
Reactions reported in clinical studies as a result of infusion
of the parenteral fluid were water weight gain, edema, increase in BUN, and
dilutional hyponatremia. Asterixis was reported to have worsened in one patient
during infusion of hepatamine® (8% Amino Acid Injection). Reactions which
may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration include
febrile response, infection at the site of injection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis
extending from the site of injection, extravasation and hypervolemia.
Symptoms may result from an excess or deficit of one or more
of the ions present in the solution; therefore, frequent monitoring of electrolyte
levels is essential.
Phosphorus deficiency may lead to impaired tissue oxygenation
and acute hemolytic anemia. Relative to calcium, excessive phosphorus intake
can precipitate hypocalcemia with cramps, tetany and muscular hyperexcitability.
If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the infusion,
evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures and
save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.
