for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with salts, trace elements, and\u00a0vitamins, StructoKabiven works as part of a balanced\u00a0intravenous\u00a0nutritional supply that meets your entire nutritional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>StructoKabiven is an\u00a0emulsion\u00a0and is given as a drip (\u00a0intravenous\u00a0infusion\u00a0).\u00a0The medicine consists of\u00a0amino acids\u00a0(the building blocks of proteins),\u00a0glucose, fats, and salts in a plastic bag.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you get StructoKabiven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You should not receive StructoKabiven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to any of the active substances or any other ingredient of this medicine (listed in section 6),<\/li><li>if you are allergic to products containing eggs, soy, or peanuts.\u00a0The product contains soybean oil,<\/li><li>if you have too high-fat levels in the blood (\u00a0hyperlipidemia\u00a0),<\/li><li>if you have severe liver disease,<\/li><li>if you have blood clotting problems (coagulation disorder or hemophagocytic syndrome),<\/li><li>if your body has difficulty using\u00a0amino acids,<\/li><li>if you suffer from severe kidney disease and lack access to\u00a0dialysis,<\/li><li>if you are in\u00a0acute\u00a0shock,<\/li><li>if you have elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia),<\/li><li>if you have elevated blood levels of the salts (\u00a0electrolytes\u00a0) contained in StructoKabiven,<\/li><li>if you have fluid in your lungs (\u00a0acute\u00a0pulmonary edema),<\/li><li>if you have too much fluid in your body (hyperhydration),<\/li><li>if you have untreated\u00a0heart failure,<\/li><li>if you have too little fluid in your body (\u00a0hypotonic\u00a0dehydration\u00a0),<\/li><li>in unstable conditions, e.g. after serious injuries, untreated\u00a0diabetes,\u00a0acute\u00a0heart attack, metabolic\u00a0acidosis\u00a0(disorder in the metabolism that produces too much acid in the blood), severe\u00a0infection\u00a0(severe blood poisoning), or\u00a0coma.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor before receiving StructoKabiven if you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>kidney disease,<\/li><li>diabetes,<\/li><li>pancreatitis\u00a0(inflammation of the pancreas),<\/li><li>liver disease,<\/li><li>hypothyroidism\u00a0(problems with the thyroid gland),<\/li><li>sepsis\u00a0(severe\u00a0infection, blood poisoning).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor may need to take blood tests on you regularly to make sure the Structokabiven treatment is working properly.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>StructoKabiven is not intended for newborn babies or children younger than 2 years.&nbsp;For children aged 2 to 11 years, there is no experience of treatment with StructoKabiven.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and StructoKabiven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might be using other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you are taking<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>a medicine called\u00a0heparin\u00a0which is used to prevent the formation and facilitate the dissolution of blood clots,<\/li><li>blood-thinning drugs (coumarin derivatives) as\u00a0vitamin\u00a0K1, which is found in soybean oil, can affect the clotting ability of the blood,<\/li><li>insulin\u00a0for the treatment of\u00a0diabetes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before receiving this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>StructoKabiven should only be used during pregnancy after special consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women treated with StruktoKabiven should not breastfeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving ability and use of machinery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No effects on the ability to drive and use machines are expected.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">StructoKabiven contains soybean oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicinal product contains soybean oil, which in rare cases may cause serious allergic reactions.&nbsp;Cross-allergic reactions have been observed between soybean and peanut.<br><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How you are given StructoKabiven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor determines the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;based on your body weight and body function.&nbsp;StructoKabiven will be given to you by healthcare professionals.&nbsp;Your medicine will only be given through a central vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be monitored during the treatment.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have received too much StructoKabiven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is unlikely that you will be given too much medicine, as the healthcare staff will monitor you during treatment.\u00a0Effects of an overdose can be nausea, fever, vomiting, chills, sweating, and\u00a0fluid retention.\u00a0Hyperglycemia\u00a0(elevated blood sugar levels) and electrolyte disturbances have also been reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you receive too high a&nbsp;dose&nbsp;of StructoKabiven, there is a risk that you will ingest too much fat.&nbsp;This is called &#8220;fat overload syndrome&#8221;.&nbsp;More information can be found in section 4, &#8220;Potential side effects&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience any of the symptoms described above or think you have been given too much StructoKabiven, tell your doctor or nurse straight away.\u00a0Infusion\u00a0one will be interrupted or continued but with a lower\u00a0dosage.\u00a0Symptoms usually disappear when the\u00a0infusion\u00a0is stopped or when the infusion rate is reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have further questions about the use of this product, contact your healthcare professional.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell the healthcare staff immediately<\/strong>\u00a0if during the\u00a0infusion\u00a0you develop a fever, rash, swollen tongue or throat, difficulty breathing, chills, sweating, nausea, or vomiting.\u00a0These symptoms may be an\u00a0allergic reaction\u00a0caused by the drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Uncommon<\/strong>\u00a0(may affect up to 1 in 100 people): more than usual\u00a0enzymes\u00a0that show how the liver is working, nausea, headache, and increased body temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rare<\/strong>\u00a0(may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people): palpitations (\u00a0tachycardia\u00a0), high\u00a0blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Very rare<\/strong>\u00a0(may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people): breathing difficulties, diarrhea, rash, back pain, dizziness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Fat overload syndrome&#8221;<\/strong><br>If your body has problems dealing with fat because you have received too much StructoKabiven, you may suffer from &#8220;fat overload syndrome&#8221;.\u00a0The problem can also occur due to a rapid change in your condition (eg kidney problems or an\u00a0infection\u00a0).\u00a0Possible symptoms are fever, high-fat content in the blood (\u00a0hyperlipidemia\u00a0), the cells and\u00a0tissues, disorders in various organs, and\u00a0coma.\u00a0The symptoms usually disappear if the\u00a0infusion\u00a0is stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Excess\u00a0amino acids<\/strong><br>This can occur when the infusion rate is increased and the level of\u00a0amino acids\u00a0is exceeded.\u00a0Possible symptoms are nausea, vomiting, chills, sweating, and an increase in body temperature.\u00a0If you have kidney problems, your doctor may want to do a blood test to check the amount of nitrogen-containing substances in your blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Excess\u00a0glucose<\/strong><br>This can occur when your body has difficulty getting rid of\u00a0glucose, causing blood sugar levels to be too high (hyperglycemia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the StructoKabiven should be stored<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.<\/li><li>Store at a maximum of 25\u00b0C.<\/li><li>Do not freeze.<\/li><li>Leave the outer bag on during storage.<\/li><li>Use before the expiry date stated on the packaging.\u00a0The expiration date is the last day of the specified month.<\/li><li>Medicines must not be thrown into the drain or among the household waste.\u00a0Ask the pharmacist how to dispose of medicines that are no longer used.\u00a0These measures will help to protect the environment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contents of the packaging and other
