concentrate for infusion solution
(Premature neonates or newborn full-term children, infants and children)
What Junyelt is and what it is used for
Junyelt is a concentrate for infusion solution, specially designed for premature or newborn adults, infants, and children.
The solution contains five trace elements (zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, selenium) which are considered essential (basic and vital) because the body cannot produce them but needs small amounts of them to function properly. Trace elements normally come from a balanced diet.
Junyelt is used to give trace elements to premature newborn or newborn full-term infants as well as infants and children who can not eat normally and need intravenous feeding (in a vein).
