2). The maximum daily dose mentioned below should not be exceeded. Due to the static composition of the multi-chamber bag, the ability to simultaneously meet all nutrient needs of the patient may not be possible. Clinical situations may exist where patients require amounts of nutrients varying from the composition of the static bag.
In this situation any volume (dose) adjustments must take into consideration the resultant effect this will have on the dosing of all other nutrient components of TRIOMEL PERIPHERAL. In adults The dosage depends on the patient’s energy expenditure, clinical status, body weight, and the ability to metabolise the constituents of TRIOMEL PERIPHERAL, as well as additional energy or proteins provided orally/enterally; therefore, the bag size should be chosen accordingly.
5 mL per expended kcal. 6 mmol/kg potassium. , 1,680 non-protein kcal and 1,960 total kcal). Normally, the flow rate must be increased gradually during the first hour and then be adjusted to take into account the dose being administered, the daily volume intake, and the duration of the infusion.
10 g/kg/hour lipids. In children greater than 2 years of age and adolescents There have been no studies performed in the paediatric population. The dosage depends on the patient’s energy expenditure, clinical status, body weight, and the ability to metabolise constituents of TRIOMEL PERIPHERAL, as well as additional energy or proteins given orally/enterally; therefore, the bag size should be chosen accordingly.
In addition, daily fluid, nitrogen, and energy requirements continuously decrease with age. Two groups, ages 2 to 11 years and 12 to 18 years, are considered. For TRIOMEL PERIPHERAL in both age groups, the magnesium concentration is the limiting factor for daily dose.
In the 2 to 11 year age group, the lipid concentration is the limiting factor for hourly rate. In the 12 to 18 year age group, the glucose concentration is the limiting factor for hourly rate. 10 a: Recommended values from 2018 ESPGHAN/ESPEN/ESPR Guidelines Normally, the flow rate must be increased gradually during the first hour and then be adjusted to take into account the dose being administered, the daily volume intake, and the duration of the infusion.
9). At the beginning of the infusion, any of the following abnormal signs (sweating, fever, shivering, headache, skin rashes, dyspnoea) should be cause for immediate discontinuation of the infusion: The adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported with TRIOMEL 9 g/l nitrogen 1070 kcal/l in a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, efficacy and safety study, are listed in the table below.
, postsurgical fasting, severe malnutrition, enteral intake insufficient or forbidden) were included and treated; patients in the TRIOMEL group received drug product up to 40 mL/kg/d over 5 days. The pooled data from clinical trials and the postmarketing experience indicate the following adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to TRIOMEL PERIPHERAL.

b: ADRs reported during post-marketing experience with TRIOMEL PERIPHERAL. The following class-like-adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have been described in other sources in relation to similar parenteral nutrition products; the frequency of these events is not known.
An excessively fast administration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions may result in severe or fatal consequences. The infusion must be stopped immediately if any signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction (such as sweating, fever, chills, headache, skin rashes, or dyspnea) develop.
This medicinal product contains soya-bean oil, and egg phospholipids. Soya-bean and egg proteins may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Cross-allergic reactions between soya-bean and peanut proteins have been observed. 3). Ceftriaxone must not be mixed or administered simultaneously with any calcium- containing IV solutions even via different infusion lines or different infusion sites.
Ceftriaxone and calcium-containing solutions may be administered sequentially one after another if infusion lines at different sites are used or if the infusion lines are replaced or thoroughly flushed between infusions with physiological salt-solution to avoid precipitation.
In patients requiring continuous infusion with calcium-containing TPN solutions, healthcare professionals may wish to consider the use of alternative antibacterial treatments which do not carry a similar risk of precipitation. If use of ceftriaxone is considered necessary in patients requiring continuous nutrition, TPN solutions and ceftriaxone can be administered simultaneously, albeit via different infusion lines at different sites.
2). Pulmonary vascular precipitates causing pulmonary vascular embolism and respiratory distress have been reported in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. In some cases, fatal outcomes have occurred. 2). Suspected precipitate formation in the blood stream has also been reported.
In addition to inspection of the solution, the infusion set and catheter should also periodically be checked for precipitates. If signs of respiratory distress occur, the infusion should be stopped and medical evaluation initiated. Do not add other medicinal products or substances to any components of the bag or to the reconstituted emulsion without first confirming their compatibility and the stability of the resulting preparation (in particular, the stability of the lipid emulsion).

In general, it is recommended to start the infusion for small children with low daily dose and gradually increase it up to the maximal dosage (see above). Method and duration of administration For single use only. It is recommended that, after opening the bag, the contents are used immediately and not stored for subsequent infusion.
After reconstitution, the mixture is homogenous with a milky appearance. 6. Due to its low osmolarity, TRIOMEL PERIPHERAL can be administered through a peripheral or central vein. The recommended duration of infusion for a parenteral nutrition bag is between 12 and 24 hours.
Treatment with parenteral nutrition may be continued for as long as required by the patient’s clinical conditions.
4) Fat overload syndrome (very rare) Fat overload syndrome has been reported with similar products. g. 9); however, the signs and symptoms of this syndrome may also occur at the start of an infusion when the product is administered according to instructions.
The reduced or limited ability to metabolize the lipids contained in TRIOMEL PERIPHERAL accompanied by prolonged plasma clearance may result in a “fat overload syndrome”. g. coma). The syndrome is usually reversible when infusion of the lipid emulsion is stopped.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow Card Scheme.

6). Severe water and electrolyte equilibration disorders, severe fluid overload states, and severe metabolic disorders must be corrected before starting the infusion. Specific clinical monitoring is required when an intravenous infusion is started.
Vascular-access infection and sepsis are complications that may occur in patients receiving parenteral nutrition, particularly in case of poor maintenance of catheters, immunosuppressive effects of illness or drugs. Careful monitoring of signs, symptoms, and laboratory test results for fever/chills, leukocytosis, technical complications with the access device, and hyperglycemia can help recognize early infections.
Patients who require parenteral nutrition are often predisposed to infectious complications due to malnutrition and/or their underlying disease state. The occurrence of septic complications can be decreased with heightened emphasis on aseptic techniques in catheter placement and maintenance, as well as aseptic techniques in the preparation of the nutritional formula.
Monitor water and electrolyte balance, serum osmolarity, serum triglycerides, acid/base balance, blood glucose, liver and kidney function tests, coagulation tests, and blood count, including platelets, throughout treatment. Elevated liver enzymes and cholestasis have been reported with similar products.
Monitoring of serum ammonia should be considered if hepatic insufficiency is suspected. Metabolic complications may occur if the nutrient intake is not adapted to the patient's requirements, or the metabolic capacity of any given dietary component is not accurately assessed.
Adverse metabolic effects may arise from administration of inadequate or excessive nutrients or from inappropriate composition of an admixture for a particular patient's needs. Administration of amino acid solutions may precipitate acute folate deficiency; folic acid is, therefore, recommended to be given daily.
Extravasation Catheter site should be monitored regularly to identify signs of extravasation. If extravasation occurs the administration should be stopped immediately, keeping the inserted catheter or cannula in place for immediate management of the patient.
If possible, aspiration should be performed through the inserted catheter/ cannula in order to reduce the amount of fluid present in the tissues before removing the catheter/ cannula. When involving an extremity, the concerned limb should be elevated.
Depending on the extravasated product (including the product(s) being mixed with TRIOMEL PERIPHERAL, if applicable) and the stage/extent of any injury, appropriate specific measures should be taken. Options for management may include non-pharmacologic, pharmacologic and/or surgical intervention.
In case of large extravasation, plastic surgeon advice should be sought within the first 72 hours. The extravasation site should be monitored at least every 4 hours during the first 24 hours, then once daily The infusion should not be restarted in the same peripheral or central vein.
Hepatic Insufficiency Use with caution in patients with hepatic insufficiency because of the risk of developing or worsening neurological disorders associated with hyperammonaemia. Regular clinical and […]
