Amino Acids is a sterile aqueous solution, consisting of crystalline amino acids and D-sorbitol with electrolytes. Amino Acids is necessary as the nitrogen sources for parenteral nutrition in which nitrogen is provided in the form of essential and non-essential amino acids. The solution is clear, colorless having a pH lying in the range of 5.7 to 7.0.

A water-soluble, enzyme co-factor present in minute amounts in every living cell. It occurs mainly bound to proteins or polypeptides and is abundant in liver, kidney, pancreas, yeast, and milk.

Biotin is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin which is composed of an ureido ring fused with a tetrahydrothiophene ring, which attaches a valeric acid substituent at one of its carbon atoms. Biotin is used in cell growth, the production of fatty acids, metabolism of fats, and amino acids. It plays a role in the Kreb cycle, which is the process in which energy is released from food. Biotin not only assists in various metabolic chemical conversions, but also helps with the transfer of carbon dioxide. Biotin is also helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. Biotin is often recommended for strengthening hair and nails. Consequenty, it is found in many cosmetic and health products for the hair and skin. Biotin deficiency is a rare nutritional disorder caused by a deficiency of biotin. Initial symptoms of biotin deficiency include: Dry skin, Seborrheic dermatitis, Fungal infections, rashes including erythematous periorofacial macular rash, fine and brittle hair, and hair loss or total alopecia. If left untreated, neurological symptoms can develop, including mild depression, which may progress to profound lassitude and, eventually, to somnolence; changes in mental status, generalized muscular pains (myalgias), hyperesthesias and paresthesias. The treatment for biotin deficiency is to simply start taking some biotin supplements. A lack of biotin in infants will lead to a condition called seborrheic dermatitis or "cradle cap". Biotin deficiencies are extremely rare in adults but if it does occur, it will lead to anemia, depression, hair loss, high blood sugar levels, muscle pain, nausea, loss of appetite and inflamed mucous membranes.

Uses

Amino Acids is used for a source of amino acids for protein synthesis in patients needing intravenous nutrition. It is particularly suitable for a patient with basal amino acid requirements. Amino Acids is also used for faster recovery in surgery, burns, renal insufficiency, hepatic insufficiency and effective management of Cancer.

Biotin is a B-complex vitamin found in many multivitamin products.

For nutritional supplementation, also for treating dietary shortage or imbalance.

Hfp Forte is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Creatinine Clearance 5-15 mL/min, Uremia, Nutritional Support, Parenteral Nutrition, Total parenteral nutrition therapyVitamin Deficiency, Nutritional supplementation

How Hfp Forte works

Biotin is necessary for the proper functioning of enzymes that transport carboxyl units and fix carbon dioxide, and is required for various metabolic functions, including gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, propionate metabolism, and catabolism of branched-chain amino acids.

Dosage

Hfp Forte dosage

Adults:

The nitrogen requirement for maintenance of body protein mass depends on the patient's condition (nutritional state and degree of metabolic stress).

No or minor metabolic stress and normal nutritional state: 0.10-0.15 g nitrogen/kg/day,

Moderate metabolic stress with or without malnutrition: 0.15-0.20 g nitrogen/kg/day,

Severe catabolism as in burns, sepsis and trauma: up to 0.20-0.25 g nitrogen/kg/day.

The dosage range 0.10-0.25 g nitrogen/kg/day corresponds to 15-35 ml Amino Acids/kg/day.

In obese patients, the dose should be based on the estimated ideal weight. Depending upon patients requirements, 1000-2000 ml Amino Acids may be infused intravenously per 24 hours. Amino Acids should be infused slowly, at rates 1.4-2.8 ml (30-60 drops) per minute.

Infants and Children:

In children and infants, the rate of infusion is 28-35 ml/kg body wt/day is recommended, with a stepwise increment in the rate of administration during the first week of treatment.

Side Effects

Amino Acids is usually well tolerated. Yet nausea, vomiting, flushing and sweating have been observed during infusion of Amino Acids at rates exceeding the recommended maximal rate. Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. Like all hypertonic infusion solution, thrombophlebitis may occur when peripheral veins are used. The incidence may be reduced by the simultaneous infusion of 10% fat emulsion. If it is infused to severely ill patients, premature infants, hyperphenylalaninemia may occur.

Toxicity

Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation.

Precaution

Hyperphenylalaninemia has been noted in severely ill, premature infants. In these patients, monitoring of the phenylalanine levels is recommended and the infusion rate adjusted as needed.

Do not use if the solution is turbid or contains particles. Discard any unused portion.

Elimination Route

Systemic - approximately 50%

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Successful and safe administration of amino acid solutions during pregnancy in the human has been reported. Animal reproduction studies have not been carried out with Amino Acids.

Contraindication

Amino acid is contraindicated in patients with inborn errors of amino acids metabolism, irreversible liver damage and severe uremia when dialysis facilities are not available.

Special Warning

In children and infants, the rate of infusion is 28-35 ml/kg body weight per day is recommended, with a step wise increase in the rate of administration during the first week.
