Prevention and treatment of manganese deficiency, particularly in patients requiring long-term parenteral nutrition or those with malabsorption syndromes, malnutrition, or specific dietary restrictions that limit manganese intake.
Manganese is an essential trace element that serves as a cofactor for various enzymes involved in bone formation, protein and carbohydrate metabolism, and antioxidant defense. It plays a role in the synthesis of connective tissue, blood clotting factors, and neurotransmitters.
Should be used under medical supervision, particularly when administered intravenously. Patients with liver disease should use cautiously as manganese can accumulate. May interact with certain medications including antacids, calcium supplements, and iron. Monitor manganese levels periodically during long-term use.
