Description

Aminoleban Liquid 8% Injection is a specialized intravenous solution containing amino acids, used primarily for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy in patients with chronic liver disease. This formulation helps to support liver function by providing essential amino acids that the liver can utilize. It is typically administered under medical supervision to help manage the symptoms of liver dysfunction and aid in the overall recovery process. The injection is suitable for patients who are unable to take nutrition orally or are in critical care situations where intravenous nutrition is necessary.

Functions

Aminoleban Liquid 8% Injection provides vital amino acids that are essential for patients with liver disease, especially those suffering from hepatic encephalopathy. These amino acids help to improve liver function, support metabolic processes, and provide nutritional support for those unable to consume food orally. It works by preventing or correcting amino acid deficiencies, enhancing the body’s ability to metabolize and detoxify harmful substances that accumulate due to liver dysfunction.

Patients with pre-existing heart or kidney conditions must use Aminoleban Liquid 8% with caution, as the injection can exacerbate these conditions. It is important to monitor kidney and heart function during treatment. Elderly patients should also exercise caution when using this product due to age-related vulnerabilities. Always follow the dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this product, as there is insufficient data on its safety in these populations.

• Pain at the administration site: This can occur where the injection is administered, although it typically resolves on its own.
• Low blood sugar levels: The injection may influence blood sugar levels, so monitoring is advised. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately for further evaluation and guidance.

Cautions

This product is contraindicated for individuals with severe kidney or heart conditions, as it may worsen these issues. It should also be used with care in elderly individuals due to possible age-related complications. Close monitoring is recommended to ensure the safe and effective use of Aminoleban Liquid 8% Injection. Patients should notify their doctor of any pre-existing health conditions before using the product. Always follow medical guidance regarding the dosage and administration to avoid complications.
