• It is intended to meet the basal requirements for trace elements.
• This medication is a solution of glucose and electrolytes (mineral salts).

Composition

• JUNIMIN contains-
• 20 µg/ml of copper
• 100 µg/ml of zinc
• 0.5 µg/ml of manganese
• 1 µg/ml of iodine
• 2 µg/ml of selenium
• It does not contain active ingredients in the form of chlorides likely to contribute to the onset of a metabolic acidosis. Its composition overall respects the current recommendations concerning the recommended intake of trace elements in children on parenteral nutrition.

Pharmacology

Junimin is a sterile parenteral nutrition solution designed for intravenous administration. It is primarily used in patients who are unable to obtain adequate nutrition through oral or enteral routes. Junimin is a parenteral nutrition solution, meaning it provides essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal system. The nutrients in Junimin are metabolized by the body to provide:

Energy through glucose.

Protein synthesis and tissue repair via amino acids.

Cellular structure and function via lipids and fatty acids.

Metabolic regulation and maintenance of physiological functions through vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes.

Junimin supports vital physiological processes such as immune function, cellular repair, and the generation of energy from stored nutrients.

Dosage & Administration

Patients with baseline or moderately increased requirements: 1 ampoule (10 ml) of JUNIMIN/day

Patients with significantly increased TE requirements: 2 ampoules (20 ml) of JUNIMIN/day

Diluted in an infusion solution of 50 ml 0.9% NaCl or 50 ml 5 % of glucose for 10ml or 100 ml 0.9% NaCl or 100 ml 5 % of glucose for 20ml added to PN mixtures

After dilution, the physico chemical stability of the diluted solution has been demonstrated for 48 hours at 25°C protected from light.

Side Effects

Elimination of manganese, copper and zinc, leading to accumulation and overdose. Copper overdose must be considered in the presence of nausea, vomiting, gastralgia.

Precautions & Warnings

Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of blood glucose, electrolyte levels, kidney function, and liver function is essential to prevent complications like hyperglycemia, metabolic disturbances, or organ dysfunction.

Therapeutic Class

Parenteral nutritional preparations

Storage Conditions

Room temperature: Junimin should be stored at room temperature (usually 15°C to 25°C).
