Protemin Injection 5% is a nutritionally balanced parenteral formulation containing amino acids, D-sorbitol, and essential electrolytes, designed to provide complete protein nutrition intravenously. It is ideal for patients who are unable to meet their nutritional needs orally or enterally due to critical illness, surgery, or gastrointestinal dysfunction. Protemin ensures rapid replenishment of essential amino acids, supports protein synthesis, and maintains electrolyte balance, helping patients achieve optimal recovery and metabolic stability.

This sterile, ready-to-use injection is suitable for hospital use under professional supervision. It delivers high-quality amino acids in a physiologically balanced solution, supplemented with D-sorbitol as a carbohydrate source for energy and electrolytes for fluid and metabolic homeostasis.

Indications

Protemin Injection 5% is indicated for:

• Protein-energy malnutrition: In patients unable to consume adequate protein orally or enterally.

• Postoperative recovery: Supports tissue repair and wound healing after major surgery.

• Critical illness or trauma: Provides essential amino acids and electrolytes to maintain metabolic balance.

• Liver or kidney disorders: When tailored amino acid solutions are required for safe nutritional support.

• Parenteral nutrition supplementation: As part of total or partial parenteral nutrition regimens.

This formulation is suitable for adults and children under professional supervision, especially when oral or enteral feeding is not feasible.

Dosage and Administration

• Protemin Injection should be administered intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

• Dosage depends on the patient’s age, weight, nutritional status, and clinical condition.

• The injection may be infused alone or as part of a total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimen, combined with dextrose and additional electrolytes if required.

• Careful monitoring of fluid balance, electrolytes, and metabolic parameters is essential during administration.

Mechanism of Action

Protemin Injection provides essential and non-essential amino acids directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract:

• Amino acids supply building blocks for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and enzyme production.

• D-Sorbitol serves as an energy source, reducing protein catabolism.

• Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium maintain fluid balance and metabolic stability.

By delivering these nutrients intravenously, Protemin supports anabolic processes and prevents malnutrition in patients unable to tolerate oral intake.

Precautions

• Use under professional supervision in a hospital or clinical setting.

• Monitor for signs of allergic reactions, fluid overload, or metabolic imbalances.

• Adjust dosage in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.

• Ensure compatibility with other intravenous medications before co-administration.

Side Effects

Protemin Injection is generally well-tolerated. Potential side effects include:

• Local reactions at the infusion site such as pain or redness

• Rare allergic reactions

• Electrolyte imbalances if infused incorrectly

• Hyperammonemia or metabolic disturbances in susceptible patients

Most adverse effects are manageable with careful monitoring and appropriate adjustments.

Storage

Store Protemin Injection 5% at 2°C–8°C, protected from light. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.

Protemin Injection 5% provides safe, effective, and nutritionally balanced parenteral protein therapy, supporting recovery and maintaining metabolic health in patients unable to meet their nutritional requirements orally.
