ProSol Dosage and Administration

Important Preparation Information

ProSol is supplied as a pharmacy bulk package for admixing only and is not for direct intravenous infusion. Prior to administration, ProSol must be transferred to a separateparenteral nutrition container, diluted and used as an admixture with or without dextrose, electrolytes and/or lipid emulsion.

•

The key factor in preparation is careful aseptic technique to avoid inadvertent touch contamination during mixing of solutions and addition of other nutrients.

•

Do not remove container from overpouch until ready to use.

•

Tear protective overpouch across top 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 ProSol prior to use. 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. Amino acid crystals may be present. Crystals will re-dissolve upon dilution during admixture compounding.
