Warnings

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 ) • Hypersensitivity Reactions : monitor for signs and symptoms and discontinue infusion if reactions occur. ( 5.2 ) • Risk of Infections, Refeeding Complications, and Hyperglycemia or Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State : monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 5.3 , 5.4 , 5.5 ) • Vein Damage and Thrombosis : solutions with osmolarity of ≥ 900 mOsm/L must be infused through a central catheter. ( 2.2 , 5.6 ) • Hepatobiliary Disorders : monitor liver function parameters and ammonia levels. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS The use of CLINIMIX is contraindicated in: • Patients with known hypersensitivity to one or more amino acids or dextrose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . • Patients with inborn errors of amino acid metabolism due to risk of severe metabolic and neurologic complications. • Patients with pulmonary edema or acidosis due to low cardiac output.

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate or well-controlled studies in pregnant women with CLINIMIX. Additionally, animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with amino acids and electrolytes and dextrose. It is not known whether CLINIMIX 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.
