Clinimix 5/15 is indicated for parenteral nutrition in patients who cannot meet their nutritional needs orally or enterally, including those with critical illness, post-operative states, severe malnutrition, or conditions requiring prolonged IV nutrition support.
Clinimix 5/15 delivers essential amino acids (for protein synthesis and tissue repair) and dextrose (a carbohydrate energy source) directly into the bloodstream via IV infusion, providing complete nutritional support when oral intake is not possible.
Must be administered intravenously by healthcare professionals. Requires monitoring of blood glucose, electrolytes, fluid balance, and organ function. Contraindicated in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment, metabolic disorders affecting amino acid metabolism, and in patients with known hypersensitivity to any components. Use with caution in diabetic patients and those with fluid restrictions.
