What is CLINIMIX used for?

CLINIMIX is used to provide nutrition to patients who are not receiving enough nutrition by eating food. CLINIMIX will only be given to you under medical supervision.

How does CLINIMIX work?

CLINIMIX provides you with carbohydrates (sugars), amino acids (building blocks of protein) and other nutrients. This helps treat or prevent malnutrition.

What are the ingredients in CLINIMIX?

Medicinal ingredients:

CLINIMIX products are solutions for infusion, each supplied in a bag with two chambers:

  • one chamber contains a dextrose solution
  • one chamber contains a solution of amino acids:

Amino acid chamber in CLINIMIX (Blend C) contains: L-alanine, L-arginine, Glycine, L-histidine, L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-lysine hydrochloride, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-proline, L-serine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine, L-valine.

Amino acid chamber in CLINIMIX (Blend D) contains: all amino acids listed under CLINIMIX (Blend C).

Non-medicinal ingredients:

Glacial acetic acid (for pH adjustment) Hydrochloride acid (for pH adjustment) Nitrogen Water for injection

CLINIMIX comes in the following dosage forms:

CLINIMIX

5% Amino Acids (Blend C) without Electrolytes in 10% Dextrose Injection

5% Amino Acids (Blend C) without Electrolytes in 16.6% Dextrose Injection

6% Amino Acids (Blend D) without Electrolytes in 5% Dextrose Injection

8% Amino Acids (Blend D) without Electrolytes in 10% Dextrose Injection

Do not use CLINIMIX if:

  • You are allergic to any ingredients in CLINIMIX or components of the container (See “What are the ingredients in CLINIMIX?”, above).
  • Your body has problems processing certain amino acids and these amino acids are included in CLINIMIX.
  • You are being administered ceftriaxone.
  • You have liver failure or coma resulting from liver failure.
  • You have kidney failure and are not on dialysis.
  • You have hyperglycemia (too much sugar in your blood), which is not controlled.
  • You have an allergy to corn or corn products since this product contains dextrose from corn.

To help avoid side effects and ensure proper use, talk to your healthcare professional before you take CLINIMIX. Talk about any health conditions or problems you may have, including if you:

  • suffer from metabolic acidosis (when the blood is excessively acid)
  • have kidney problems
  • have liver problems

  • are pregnant or intend to become pregnant

  • are breastfeeding or intend to breastfeed
  • have pulmonary edema (collection of fluid into the lung tissue)
  • have heart problems or have had heart problems
  • have fluid overload (too much water in your body), where you have experienced high blood pressure, gaining weight in short period of time, swelling in the ankles and legs, and shortness of breath
  • have diabetes
  • have hereditary fructose intolerance. This is a condition where your body cannot break down fructose properly. This product may contain small amounts of fructose.

Other warnings you should know about:

Pediatric Patients:

In newborns and infants, your healthcare professional will measure blood ammonia frequently to check for the presence of a congenital abnormality of amino acid metabolism.

Laboratory Testing:

Your doctor will need to monitor how you are doing while you are on this medicine. This means that you will need to have laboratory tests done on a routine basis.

Tell your healthcare professional about all the medicines you take, including any drugs, vitamins, minerals, natural supplements or alternative medicines.

How to take CLINIMIX:

Usual dose:

Your doctor will give you CLINIMIX based on factors such as age, weight, condition, and any tests results that they have done. They will ensure that you are getting sufficient calories so that the amino acids will be absorbed. Always be sure to check with your doctor if anything about your condition changes.

Overdose:

If your dose is too high or is infused too quickly, the following may happen:

  • the amino acid content may make your blood too acidic;
  • the dextrose content may increase the glucose in your blood and urine;

Giving too high a volume may cause fluid overload.

To help prevent these events, your doctor will routinely check your condition, and test your blood and urine.

If you think you, or a person you are caring for, have taken too much CLINIMIX, contact a healthcare professional, hospital emergency department, or regional poison control centre immediately, even if there are no symptoms.

Missed Dose:

If you feel a dose has been missed contact your healthcare provider.
