⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION See full prescribing information for information on preparation, administration, instructions for use, dosing considerations, including the recommended dosage in adults and pediatrics, and dosage modifications in patients with kidney disease. ( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 , 2.7 , 2.8 )
2.1Preparation Prior to Administration • CLINIMIX E is available in a three port container configuration and a two port container configuration. • Three Port Container: the ports consist of one medication port, one additive port and one outlet port. Additives can be introduced to the container through the medication port and lipids through the additive port on the three port container. • Two Port Container: the ports consist of one medication port and one outlet port. Additives, including lipids, can be introduced to the container through the medication port on the two port container. • Tear protective overwrap at slit and remove solution container.
Small amounts of moisture may be found on the solution container from water permeating from inside the container. The amount of permeated water is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. If larger amounts of water are found, the container should be checked for tears or leaks. • Inspect the container prior to activation.
Some opacity of the plastic due to moisture absorption during the sterilization process may be observed. This is normal and does not affect the solution quality or safety. The opacity will diminish gradually.
Evaluate the following: • If the outlet or additive port protectors are damaged, detached, or not present, discard container as solution path sterility may be impaired. • Check to ensure seal between chambers is intact, solutions are contained in separate chambers, and the content of the individual chambers is clear, colorless or slightly yellow. Discard if the seal is broken or if the solution is bright yellow or yellowish brown. • Check for minute leaks by separately squeezing each chamber. If external leaks or leakage between the chambers are found, discard solution as sterility or stability may be impaired. • Lipids and/or additives can be introduced to the container after opening seal between chambers.
Because additives may be incompatible, evaluate all additions to the plastic container for compatibility. Activate chambers of container prior to introduction of additives. Mix thoroughly when additives have been introduced.
Supplemental medication may be added with a 19 to 22 gauge needle through the medication port. • Calcium and phosphate ratios must be considered. Excess addition of calcium and phosphate, especially in the form of mineral salts, may result in the formation of calcium phosphate precipitates [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. • Inspect the container to ensure precipitates have not formed during the mixing or addition of additives. A slight yellow color does not alter the quality and efficacy of this product.
If lipid has been added, ensure the emulsion has not separated. Separation of the emulsion can be visibly identified by a yellowish streaking or the accumulation of yellowish droplets in the mixed emulsion. Discard the admixture if any of the above are observed.
2.2Important Administration Instructions • Set the vent to the closed position on a vented intravenous administration set to prevent air embolism. • Use a dedicated line without any connections to avoid air embolism. • CLINIMIX E is for intravenous infusion only into a central or peripheral vein. The choice of a central or peripheral venous route should depend on the osmolarity of the final infusate. Solutions with osmolarity of 900 mOsm/L or greater must be infused through a central catheter [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ]. • For central vein infusion only: CLINIMIX E 4.25/10, 5/15, 5/20, 8/10, 8/14 • For central or peripheral vein infusion: CLINIMIX E 2.75/5 and 4.25/5 • The solution should be inspected for precipitates before admixing, a…

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS The use of CLINIMIX E is contraindicated in: 1. Neonates (28 days of age or younger) receiving concomitant treatment with ceftriaxone, even if separate infusion lines are used, due to the risk of fatal ceftriaxone calcium salt precipitation in the neonate’s bloodstream [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] . 2.
Patients with known hypersensitivity to one or more amino acids or dextrose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 3. Patients with inborn errors of amino acid metabolism due to risk of severe metabolic and neurologic complications.
4. Patients with pulmonary edema or acidosis due to low cardiac output. • Concomitant treatment with ceftriaxone in neonates (28 days of age or younger). ( 4 ) • Known hypersensitivity to one or more amino acids or dextrose.
( 4 ) • Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism. ( 4 ) • Patients with pulmonary edema or acidosis due to low cardiac output. ( 4 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Pulmonary Embolism due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates: if signs of pulmonary distress occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation. ( 5.1 ) • Precipitation with Ceftriaxone: do not administer ceftriaxone simultaneously with CLINIMIX E via a Y-site. ( 4 , 5.2 , 8.4 ) • Hypersensitivity Reactions: monitor for signs and symptoms and discontinue infusion if reactions occur.
( 5.3 ) • Risk of Infections, Refeeding Complications, and Hyperglycemia or Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State: monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 5.4 , 5.5 , 5.6 ) • Vein Damage and Thrombosis: solutions with osmolarity of ≥ 900 mOsm/L must be infused through a central catheter. ( 2.2 , 5.7 ) • Hepatobiliary Disorders: monitor liver function parameters and ammonia levels.
( 5.8 ) • Aluminum Toxicity: increased risk in patients with impaired kidney function, including preterm infants. ( 5.9 , 8.4 ) • Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver Disease: increased risk in patients who receive parenteral nutrition for extended periods of time, especially preterm infants; monitor liver function tests, if abnormalities occur consider discontinuation or dosage reduction. ( 5.10 , 8.4 ) • Electrolyte Imbalance and Fluid Overload: patients with cardiac insufficiency or kidney disease may require adjustment of fluid, protein and electrolyte content.
( 5.11 , 8.4 )
5.1Pulmonary Embolism due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates Pulmonary vascular precipitates causing pulmonary vascular emboli and pulmonary distress have been reported in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. In some cases, fatal outcomes due to pulmonary embolism have occurred. Patients, especially those with hypophosphatemia, may require the addition of phosphate.
To prevent hypocalcemia, calcium supplementation should always accompany phosphate administration. Excessive addition of calcium and phosphate increases the risk of the formation of calcium phosphate precipitates. Precipitates have been reported even in the absence of phosphate salt in the solution.
Precipitation following passage through an in-line filter and suspected in vivo precipitate formation has also been reported. If signs of pulmonary distress occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation. In addition to inspection of the solution [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 )] , the infusion set and catheter should also periodically be checked for precipitates.
5.2Precipitation with Ceftriaxone Precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium can occur when ceftriaxone is mixed with calcium-containing parenteral nutrition solutions, such as CLINIMIX E, in the same intravenous administration line. Do not administer ceftriaxone simultaneously with CLINIMIX E via a Y-site. Deaths have occurred in neonates (less than 28 days of age) who received concomitant intravenous calcium-containing solutions with ceftriaxone resulting from calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in the lungs and kidneys, even when separate infusion lines were used.
CLINIMIX E is contraindicated in neonates receiving ceftriaxone [see Contraindications (4) , Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ]. In patients older than 28 days (including adults), ceftriaxone and CLINIMIX E may be administered sequentially if the infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid .
5.3Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity/infusion reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported with CLINIMIX E. Stop infusion immediately and treat patient accordingly if any signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction develop. Signs or symptoms may include: hypotension, hypertension, peripheral cyanosis, tachycardia, dyspnea, vomiting, nausea, urticaria, rash, pruritus, erythema, hyperhidrosis, pyrexia, and chills.
5.4Risk of Infections Patients who require parenteral nutrition are at high risk of infections because the nutritional components of these solutions can support microbial growt…
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the prescribing information. • Pulmonary embolism due to pulmonary vascular precipitates [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Death in neonates due to calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Risk of Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Refeeding syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] • Hyperglycemia or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] • Vein damage and thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] • Hepatobiliary disorders [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] • Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver Disease (PNALD) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] • Electrolyte imbalance and fluid overload [see Warnings and Precautions (5.11) ] The following adverse reactions from voluntary reports or clinical studies have been reported with CLINIMIX E.
Because many of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. • Diuresis • Extravasation • Glycosuria • Hyperglycemia • Hyperosmolar coma Adverse reactions include diuresis, extravasation, glycosuria, hyperglycemia, and hyperosmolar coma.

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1Drugs that Can Cause Hyperkalemia Because of its potassium content, CLINIMIX E should be administered with caution in patients treated with agents or products that can cause hyperkalemia or increase the risk of hyperkalemia, such as potassium sparing diuretics (amiloride, spironolactone, triamterene), with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, or the immunosuppressants tacrolimus and cyclosporine.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pediatric Use: increased risk of hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia: monitor serum glucose concentrations. ( 8.4 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate or well-controlled studies in pregnant women with CLINIMIX E. Additionally, animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with amino acids and electrolytes and dextrose. It is not known whether CLINIMIX E can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. However, the estimated background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2 to 4% and of miscarriage is 15 to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk Based on clinical practice guidelines, parenteral nutrition should be considered in cases of severe maternal malnutrition where nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by the enteral route because of the risks to the fetus associated with severe malnutrition, such as preterm delivery, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations and perinatal mortality.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary It is not known whether CLINIMIX E is present in human milk. There are no data on the effects of CLINIMIX E on the breastfed infant or on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for CLINIMIX E and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from CLINIMIX E or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of CLINIMIX E in pediatric patients have not been established by adequate and well-controlled studies. Use of dextrose, amino acid infusions and electrolytes in pediatric patients is based on clinical practice [see Dosage and Administration (2.8) ] . Deaths have occurred in neonates (28 days of age or younger) who received concomitant intravenous calcium-containing solutions with ceftriaxone resulting from calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in the lungs and kidneys, even when separate infusion lines were used.
CLINIMIX E is contraindicated in neonates receiving ceftriaxone [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Newborns, especially those born premature and with low birth weight, are at increased risk of developing hypo – or hyperglycemia and therefore need close monitoring during treatment with intravenous glucose solutions to ensure adequate glycemic control in order to avoid potential long term adverse effects. Hypoglycemia in the newborn can cause prolonged seizures, coma and brain damage.
Hyperglycemia has been associated with intraventricular hemorrhage, late onset bacterial and fungal infection, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, prolonged length of hospital stay, and death. Plasma electrolyte concentrations should be closely monitored in the pediatric population as this population may have impaired ability to regulate fluids and electrolytes. Because of immature renal function, preterm infants receiving prolonged treatment with CLINIMIX E, may be at risk of aluminum toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] .
Patients, including pediatric patients, may be at risk for Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver Disease (PNALD) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] . Hyperammonemia is of special significance in infants (birth to two years). This reaction appears to be related to a deficiency of the urea cycle amino acids of genetic or product origin.
It is essential that blood ammonia be measured frequently in infants [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] .
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of CLINIMIX E did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from other younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences…

🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of CLINIMIX E did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from other younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or drug therapy.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE An increased infusion rate of CLINIMIX E can cause hyperglycemia, hyperosmolality, and adverse effects on water and electrolyte balance [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6 , 5.11 )]. Severe hyperglycemia and severe dilutional hyponatremia, and their complications, can be fatal. Discontinue infusion and institute appropriate corrective measures in the event of overhydration or solute overload during therapy, with particular attention to respiratory and cardiovascular systems .

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action CLINIMIX E is used as a supplement of nutrition in patients, providing macronutrients (amino acids and dextrose) and micronutrients (electrolytes) parenterally. The amino acids provide the structural units that make up proteins and are used to synthesize proteins and other biomolecules or are oxidized to urea and carbon dioxide as a source of energy. The administered dextrose is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, yielding energy.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The disposition of infused amino acids, dextrose, and electrolytes are essentially the same as those absorbed from ordinary food.
