Aminosyn II in Dextrose Injection Side Effects Center
Aminosyn II (amino acid injection) is a combination of amino acids used for central vein infusion in the prevention of nitrogen loss and negative nitrogen balance in cases where (a) the gastrointestinal tract by the oral, gastrostomy or jejunostomy route cannot or should not be used, (b) gastrointestinal absorption of nutrients is impaired or (c) metabolic requirements for protein and calories are substantially increased as with extensive burns and (d) morbidity and mortality may be reduced by replacing amino acids lost from tissue breakdown, thereby preserving tissue reserves, as in acute renal failure. Common side effects of Aminosyn II include
- injection site reactions (skin redness, inflammation, blood clots, and swelling)
- flushing
- fever, and
- nausea
The total daily dose of Aminosyn II to be infused depends on daily protein and caloric requirements and on the patient's metabolic and clinical response. Aminosyn II may interact with other drugs. Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you use. During pregnancy, Aminosyn II should be used only if prescribed. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
