1. What Clinimix is and what it is used for

CLINIMIX is an infusion solution. It is supplied in a dual-chamber bag. One chamber contains an amino acid solution with electrolytes, and the second chamber contains a glucose solution with calcium chloride. The chambers are separated by a non-permanent seal. The contents of the chambers must be mixed immediately before administration by rolling the top of the bag to break the seals.

CLINIMIX is given to provide nutrition to adults and children through a tube connected to a vein when normal oral feeding is not suitable.

CLINIMIX must only be administered under medical supervision.

2. What you need to know before starting Clinimix administration

CLINIMIX must not be administered if:

  • you are allergic to the active substances or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • your body has difficulty using certain amino acids,
  • you have too much sugar in your blood (severe hyperglycemia),
  • your blood is excessively acidic (metabolic acidosis due to lactate excess),
  • you have blood levels of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and/or phosphorus that are too high (hypernatremia, hyperkalemia, hypermagnesemia, hypercalcemia and/or hyperphosphatemia),
  • in children under 28 days of age, ceftriaxone must not be co-administered with intravenous solutions containing calcium, as particles may form.

In all cases, your doctor will decide whether you should be given this medicine based on factors such as age, weight, clinical condition, and results of all tests performed.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or nurse before receiving CLINIMIX.

If any abnormal signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction develop, such as fever, chills, skin rash, difficulty breathing, excessive sweating, nausea, or headache, inform your doctor or nurse immediately: the infusion will be stopped promptly. Your doctor will monitor your condition during administration of this medicine and may adjust the dose or add other nutrients such as lipids, vitamins, electrolytes, and trace elements as appropriate.

Certain medications and diseases may increase the risk of developing an infection or sepsis (bacteria in the blood). There is a particular risk of infection or sepsis when a tube (intravenous catheter) is placed in your vein. Your doctor will carefully monitor you for any signs of infection. The use of aseptic techniques (germ-free) when inserting and maintaining the catheter and when preparing the nutritional formulation may reduce the risk of infection.

CLINIMIX with electrolytes contains calcium. It must not be administered concomitantly with the antibiotic ceftriaxone because particles may form.

If you are severely malnourished and require intravenous feeding, it is recommended that parenteral nutrition be initiated slowly and cautiously.

Your doctor will monitor your condition at the start of the infusion, especially if you currently have liver, kidney, adrenal, heart, or circulatory problems. Your doctor should also be aware of any serious conditions affecting how your body handles sugars, fats, proteins, or salts (metabolic disorders). If any abnormal signs occur, including venous irritation, the infusion should be stopped.

To monitor the effectiveness and safety of treatment, your doctor will perform laboratory and clinical tests while you are receiving this medicine. If you receive this medicine for several weeks, your blood will be tested regularly. In particular, in cases of glucose intolerance, blood and urine glucose levels will be routinely monitored, and if you are a diabetic patient, your insulin dose may need to be adjusted.

Children and adolescents

When used in newborns and children under 2 years of age, the solution (in bags and administration sets) must be protected from exposure to light until administration is complete. Exposure of Clinimix to ambient light, especially after mixing with trace elements and/or vitamins, generates peroxides and other degradation products, which can be minimized by protecting the solution from light.

Interaction of CLINIMIX with other medicines

Inform your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any other medicines.

CLINIMIX with electrolytes contains calcium. It must not be administered concomitantly with the antibiotic ceftriaxone because particles may form.

Due to the potassium content of CLINIMIX, special attention must be paid when treating patients receiving potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., amiloride, spironolactone, triamterene), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, or immunosuppressants such as tacrolimus or cyclosporine, due to the risk of hyperkalemia.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medicine.

3. How Clinimix is administered

Before administering the product, the non-permanent seal between the two compartments must be broken and the contents of both compartments mixed.

CLINIMIX can be administered to adults and children.

When used in newborns and children under 2 years of age, the solution (in the bags and administration sets) must be protected from exposure to light until administration is complete (see section 2).

This is an infusion solution administered through a plastic tube connected to a vein in your arm or a large vein in your chest.

Dosage – Adults and children

Your doctor will determine the dose you require and the duration of administration based on your age, weight and height, clinical condition, daily fluid volume, and energy and nitrogen requirements.

Follow exactly the administration instructions for CLINIMIX provided by your doctor. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor.

Administration may continue for as long as necessary, depending on your clinical condition.

Infusion of one bag usually lasts between 8 and 24 hours.

If you are given more CLINIMIX than you should

If the administered dose is too high or the infusion is too rapid, it may increase your blood volume or make your blood excessively acidic. The glucose content may increase glucose levels in your blood and urine. Administration of an excessive volume may cause nausea, vomiting, tremors, and electrolyte disturbances. In such situations, the infusion must be stopped immediately.

In severe cases, your doctor may need to perform temporary renal dialysis to help your kidneys eliminate the excess product.

To prevent such situations, your doctor will regularly monitor your condition and analyze your blood parameters.

If you have any further questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor.

4. Possible adverse effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause adverse effects, although not everyone experiences them. If you notice any change in how you feel during or after treatment, inform your doctor or nurse immediately.

The tests your doctor performs while you are receiving this medicine should minimize the risk of adverse effects.

The infusion will be stopped immediately if any abnormal signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction occur, such as abnormally high or low blood pressure, development of blue or purple skin discoloration, abnormally high heart rate, difficulty breathing, vomiting, nausea, skin rashes, increased body temperature, excessive sweating, and chills.

Other adverse effects have been observed, occurring with varying frequency:

  • Anaphylaxis (a severe, rapidly-onset allergic reaction that may be fatal).
  • High levels of glucose, ammonia, and nitrogen-containing compounds in the blood.
  • Impaired liver function, abnormal liver function blood tests.
  • Inflammation of the gallbladder, presence of gallstones in the gallbladder.
  • Inflammation of the veins at the infusion site, venous irritation, pain, irritation, burning, swelling.
  • Presence of glucose in the urine.
  • Diabetic coma.
  • Formation of small particles that block the pulmonary blood vessels.

Reporting of adverse effects:

If you experience any type of adverse effect, consult your doctor or nurse, even if they are possible adverse effects not listed in this leaflet. You may also report them directly through the Spanish Pharmacovigilance System for Human Medicinal Products: https://www.notificaram.es. By reporting adverse effects, you can help provide more information on the safety of this medicine.

Appearance of CLINIMIX and contents of the container

CLINIMIX is an infusion solution presented in a multilayer plastic bag with two chambers. The material of the inner layer (in contact) of the bag is made of polymers (a mixture of polyolefin copolymers) compatible with the components and authorized additives. Other layers are made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) and a copolyester.

Before reconstitution, the glucose and amino acid solutions are transparent, colourless or slightly yellowish. After reconstitution, the solution is also transparent, colourless or slightly yellowish.

To avoid contact with atmospheric oxygen, the bag is packaged inside an overpouch acting as an oxygen barrier, which contains an oxygen absorber.

  1. Dosage and method of administration.

Before administering the product, the non-permanent seal between the two compartments must be broken and the contents of both compartments mixed.

Dose and rate of infusion

The dose should be individualized according to the patient's nutritional/fluid requirements, energy expenditure, clinical status, body weight, and ability to metabolize the components of Clinimix, as well as additional energy or protein administered orally/enterally. Furthermore, daily requirements for fluids, nitrogen, and energy continuously decrease with age.

In adults, requirements range between 0.16 g of nitrogen/kg/day (approximately 1 g of amino acid/kg/day) and 0.32 g of nitrogen/kg/day (approximately 2 g of amino acid/kg/day).

In infants, requirements range between 0.16 g of nitrogen/kg/day (approximately 1 g of amino acid/kg/day) and 0.40 g of nitrogen/kg/day (approximately 2.5 g of amino acid/kg/day).

In adults and patients aged 12 to 18 years, caloric requirements range from 25 kcal/kg/day to 40 kcal/kg/day, depending on the patient's nutritional status and level of catabolism. Patients under 12 years of age may have higher requirements.

There may be clinical situations where patients require nutrient amounts differing from the composition of Clinimix. In such cases, any adjustment in volume (dose) must take into account the resulting effect on the dosing of all other nutritional components in Clinimix. The rate and volume of infusion must be determined by a prescribing physician experienced in pediatric intravenous fluid therapy.

This medicinal product does not contain the amino acids cysteine and taurine, considered conditionally essential for neonates and infants.

This medicinal product is not recommended for premature and term newborns or for children under 2 years of age.

The rate of administration should be adjusted according to the dose, characteristics of the infused solution, total volume intake over 24 hours, and duration of infusion.

The infusion time should exceed 8 hours. Typically, the rate of administration is gradually increased during the first hour without exceeding 1.7 ml per kilogram of body weight per hour, and the maximum dose is 40 ml per kilogram of body weight per day.

Method of administration

When used in newborns and children under 2 years of age, the solution (in bags and administration sets) must be protected from exposure to light until administration is complete.

Route of administration

Administration will be intravenous, either peripheral or central, depending on the final osmolarity of the mixture. Generally, the accepted limit for peripheral infusion is approximately 800 mOsm/l, but this varies considerably depending on age, the patient's general condition, and characteristics of the peripheral veins.

  1. Warnings and special precautions for use

WARNINGS

Hypersensitivity/perfusion reactions, including hypotension, hypertension, peripheral cyanosis, tachycardia, dyspnea, vomiting, nausea, urticaria, rash, pruritus, erythema, hyperhidrosis, fever, and chills, have been reported with CLINIMIX formulations. Anaphylaxis has been reported with other parenteral nutrition products.

Special clinical monitoring is required when initiating any intravenous infusion. If any abnormal sign or symptom occurs, such as a hypersensitivity reaction or perfusion reaction, the infusion must be stopped immediately.

Solutions containing glucose must be used with caution in all cases in patients with known allergy to corn or corn-derived products.

Pulmonary vascular precipitates have been reported in patients receiving parenteral nutrition.

In some cases, fatal outcomes have occurred. Excessive addition of calcium and phosphate increases the risk of calcium phosphate precipitate formation. Precipitates have been reported even in the absence of phosphate salts in the solution. In-line filter downstream precipitation has also been reported, and in vivo precipitate formation is suspected.

If signs of pulmonary distress occur, the infusion must be stopped and a medical evaluation initiated.

In addition to inspecting the solution, the infusion set and catheter should also be periodically checked for precipitates.

In patients over 28 days of age (including adults), ceftriaxone must not be administered intravenously simultaneously with calcium-containing solutions, including CLINIMIX N14G30E, through the same infusion line. If sequential administration via the same line is necessary, the line must be thoroughly flushed with a compatible fluid between infusions.

The use of intravenous catheters for parenteral formulations, poor catheter maintenance, or contaminated solutions may lead to infection and sepsis.

Immunosuppression and other factors such as hyperglycemia, malnutrition, and/or underlying disease state may predispose patients to infectious complications.

Symptomatic care and laboratory monitoring of fever/chills, leukocytosis, technical complications with the access device, and hyperglycemia may help detect early infections.

The occurrence of septic complications can be reduced by placing greater emphasis on the use of aseptic techniques in catheter placement, maintenance, and nutritional formula preparation.

Refeeding severely malnourished patients may lead to refeeding syndrome, characterized by intracellular shifts of potassium, phosphate, and magnesium as the patient enters an anabolic state. Thiamine deficiency and fluid retention may also occur. Strict monitoring and gradual nutrient intake, avoiding overfeeding, can prevent these complications.

Hypertonic solutions may cause venous irritation if infused through a peripheral vein. The choice between a peripheral or central vein depends on the final osmolarity of the mixture.

The generally accepted limit for peripheral infusion is about 800 mOsm/l, but this varies considerably with age, the patient's general condition, and characteristics of the peripheral veins.

Do not connect plastic containers in series in order to avoid gas embolism due to possible residual air contained in the primary container.

PRECAUTIONS

Before initiating infusion, severe disturbances in water and electrolyte balance, severe fluid overload states, and severe metabolic disorders should be corrected.

Metabolic complications may occur if nutrient intake is not adapted to the patient's requirements, or if the metabolic capacity for any nutritional component is not accurately assessed. Adverse metabolic effects may result from inadequate or excessive administration of nutrients, or from a mixture composition inappropriate for the patient's specific needs.

Frequent clinical assessments and laboratory tests are essential for proper monitoring during administration. These include ionogram determinations and functional tests of kidney and liver.

Electrolyte requirements of patients receiving these solutions must be carefully determined and monitored, especially in the case of electrolyte-free solutions.

Glucose intolerance is a common metabolic complication in severely stressed patients. Infusion of this solution may cause hyperglycemia, glucosuria, and hyperosmolar syndrome. Blood and urine glucose should be routinely monitored, and insulin dosage adjusted as necessary in diabetic patients.

Use with caution in patients with renal insufficiency, especially if hyperkalemia is present, due to the risk of development or worsening of metabolic acidosis and hyperazotemia if extrarenal waste elimination is not performed. Fluid and electrolyte status must be carefully monitored in these patients. In cases of severe renal insufficiency, specially formulated amino acid solutions should be selected.

Caution should be exercised when administering Clinimix to patients with adrenal insufficiency.

Circulatory overload should be avoided, especially in patients with pulmonary edema, heart failure, or cardiac insufficiency. Fluid status must be carefully monitored.

In addition to routine liver function tests, patients with pre-existing liver disease or hepatic insufficiency should be monitored for possible signs of hyperammonemia.

Hepatobiliary disorders, including cholestasis, hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis, which may lead to liver failure, as well as cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, are known to occur in some patients receiving parenteral nutrition. The etiology of these disorders is believed to be multifactorial and may differ among patients. Patients who develop abnormal laboratory parameters or other signs of hepatobiliary disorders should be promptly evaluated by a clinical expert in liver diseases to identify potential causal and contributing factors and possible therapeutic and prophylactic interventions.

In patients receiving amino acid solutions, blood ammonia levels may increase and hyperammonemia may occur. In some patients, this may indicate the presence of a congenital amino acid metabolism disorder (see Section 4.3 of the Summary of Product Characteristics) or hepatic insufficiency.

Blood ammonia should be frequently measured in newborns and infants to detect hyperammonemia, which may indicate the presence of a congenital abnormality in amino acid metabolism.

Depending on severity and etiology, hyperammonemia may require immediate intervention.

Infusion of amino acids too rapidly may cause nausea, vomiting, and chills. In such cases, the infusion must be stopped immediately.

In general, dosage in elderly patients should be cautious, taking into account the higher frequency of hepatic, renal, or cardiac insufficiency, concomitant diseases, or concomitant medication.

Paediatric population

  • No studies have been conducted in the paediatric population.
  • See above regarding monitoring for hyperammonemia in paediatric patients.

Exposure to light of intravenous parenteral nutrition solutions, especially after mixing with trace elements or vitamins, may have adverse effects on clinical outcomes in newborns due to the generation of peroxides and other degradation products. When used in newborns and children under 2 years of age, Clinimix must be protected from ambient light until administration is complete.

Mix the contents by inverting the bag at least three times.

Hang the bag. Rotate the protector to remove it from the administration port. Securely connect the spike connector.

Use the solution only if it is clear, colorless or slightly yellowish, and if the container is undamaged.

CLINIMIX must be at room temperature before use.

Activation of CLINIMIX can be performed either within the overpouch or after its removal.

For single use only.

Do not store partially used containers and discard all equipment after use.

Do not reconnect a partially used bag.

Do not connect in series.

When used in newborns and children under 2 years of age, protect from light exposure until administration is complete. Exposure of Clinimix to ambient light, especially after mixing with trace elements or vitamins, generates peroxides and other degradation products, which can be minimized by protecting the product from light exposure.

Supplementation

Lipids, vitamins, and trace elements should be provided to patients receiving parenteral nutrition over a prolonged period.

If additive administration is required, compatibility must be verified and the stability of mixtures monitored.

Supplementation may be performed after opening the non-permanent seals for all additives (once the two solutions have been mixed). CLINIMIX may be supplemented with:

  • Lipid emulsions (e.g., ClinOleic) at a rate of 50 to 250 mL per liter of CLINIMIX

Stability data for supplementation of CLINIMIX with other commercially available lipid emulsions and other additives or nutrients are available upon request.

If a slight creaming is observed, thoroughly mix the solution by gentle agitation to obtain a uniform emulsion prior to infusion.

Additions must be made under aseptic conditions.

Additions may be performed using a syringe or a transfer device.

  • Addition using a syringe or transfer device with needle.

  • Prepare the injection site (single port, see Figure 1).

  • Pierce the port and inject.

  • Mix the solution and additives thoroughly.

Incompatibilities

Additives may be incompatible; consult the manufacturer for further details.

If additives are required, compatibility must be checked and the stability of the mixtures monitored.

The solution must not be administered through the same administration set with, before, or after blood transfusion due to the risk of pseudoagglutination.

CLINIMIX N14G30E contains calcium ions, which poses an additional risk of coagulation in citrate-anticoagulated or preserved blood, or its components.

As with any parenteral nutrition mixture, the calcium and phosphate ratios must be taken into account. Excessive addition of calcium and phosphate, especially in the form of mineral salts, may lead to precipitation of calcium phosphate.

As with other infusion solutions containing calcium, concomitant administration of ceftriaxone and CLINIMIX N14G30E is contraindicated in neonates (≤ 28 days of age), even when separate infusion lines are used (risk of fatal precipitation of calcium-ceftriaxone salt in the neonate's bloodstream).

In patients older than 28 days (including adults), intravenous ceftriaxone must not be administered simultaneously with calcium-containing solutions, including CLINIMIX N14G30E solutions, through the same infusion line (see section Warnings).

If the same infusion line is used for sequential administration, it must be thoroughly flushed with a compatible fluid between infusions.

  1. Shelf life

2 years if stored in the overpouch.

Immediate use of the product is recommended after opening the non-permanent seal between the two chambers. However, once reconstituted (i.e., after opening the internal non-permanent seal), the reconstituted solution has been shown to remain stable for up to 7 days at 2 °C to 8 °C, followed by a maximum of 48 hours at temperatures not exceeding 25 °C.

From a microbiological standpoint, mixtures should be used immediately after additions. If not used immediately, the in-use storage duration and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and should not exceed 24 hours at 2–8 °C, unless additions were performed under controlled and validated aseptic conditions. For exceptional cases requiring longer storage periods, contact the manufacturer, as stability data (physical and chemical) are available for up to 7 days at 2–8 °C followed by 48 hours at temperatures below 25 °C for the products indicated in the previous section.
