Tralement Dosage and Administration

Important Administration Information

Tralement is supplied as a single-dose vial for admixture use only. It is not for direct intravenous infusion. Prior to administration, Tralement must be transferred to a separate parenteral nutrition container, diluted and used as an admixture in parenteral nutrition solution.

The final parenteral nutrition solution is for intravenous infusion into a central or peripheral vein. The choice of a central or peripheral venous route should depend on the osmolarity of the final infusate. Solutions with osmolarity of 900 mOsmol/L or greater must be infused through a central catheter [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Preparation and Administration Instructions

• Tralement is not for direct intravenous infusion. Prior to administration, Tralement must be prepared and used as an admixture in parenteral nutrition solution.
• Add Tralement to the parenteral nutrition solution in a suitable work area such as a laminar flow hood (or an equivalent clean air compounding area). The key factor in the preparation is careful aseptic technique to avoid inadvertent touch contamination during mixing of solutions and addition of other nutrients.
• Inspect the parenteral nutrition solution containing Tralement for particulate matter before admixing, after admixing, and prior to administration.
