Focus on a Unique Set of Patients

Explore Multrys (trace elements injection 4*, USP)

Trace elements (TEs) are an essential part of parenteral nutrition (PN).1 Per clinical recommendations, patients should receive a daily dose of TEs as part of their PN prescription.2

The concentration of each element in Multrys allows clinicians to treat neonatal and pediatric patients weighing less than 10 kg with accuracy, simplicity, and confidence.3

Multrys is recommended only for pediatric patients who require supplementation with all four of the individual trace elements (ie, zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium).

For neonatal and pediatric patients weighing less than 10 kg3

  • The first and only FDA-approved multi-trace element (MTE) injection for patients weighing less than 10 kg4
  • Specifically designed as a source of zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium for parenteral nutrition when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated3

Formulated to meet today’s guidelines

  • Multrys more closely aligns with the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) Dosing Recommendations for trace element supplementation than products previously marketed by American Regent2,3
  • Multrys is not recommended for patients who may require a lower dosage of 1 or more of the individual trace elements. Multrys may not provide the recommended daily dosage of zinc, copper, or selenium in certain weight bands.1

Making Parenteral Nutrition (PN) More Elemental

Multrys may help simplify treatment planning and preparation. This frees you to focus on your patients with greater accuracy, simplicity, and confidence—the way it should be.

Elements of Accuracy

  • The recommended dose of Multrys is 1 mL for patients 3 kg-9.9 kg3

Elements of Simplicity

  • Fewer compounding steps than using individual trace elements
    • Additional trace element supplementation may be necessary in certain weight bands
  • Multrys can be stored for up to 9 days when added to the PN admixture and refrigerated [2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F)], allowing for the preparation of PN admixtures in advance3

Elements of Confidence

  • With American Regent, you can feel confident in our commitment to providing a consistent supply of trace elements to ensure that patient needs are met

INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Tralement (trace elements injection 4*, USP)

*Each mL of Tralement contains zinc 3 mg, copper 0.3 mg, manganese 55 mcg, and selenium 60 mcg.

For intravenous use

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Tralement is indicated for adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 10 kg as a source of zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium for parenteral nutrition when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Tralement is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to zinc or copper.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

  • Pulmonary Embolism due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates: Pulmonary vascular precipitates causing pulmonary vascular emboli and pulmonary distress have been reported in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. If signs of pulmonary distress occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation.
  • Vein Damage and Thrombosis: Tralement must be prepared and used as an admixture in parenteral nutrition solution. It is not for direct intravenous infusion. In addition, consider the osmolarity of the final parenteral nutrition solution in determining peripheral versus central administration. Solutions with osmolarity of 900 mOsmol/L or more must be infused through a central catheter. The primary complication of peripheral access is venous thrombophlebitis.
  • Neurologic Toxicity with Manganese: Monitor patients receiving long-term parenteral nutrition solutions containing Tralement for neurologic signs and symptoms, and routinely monitor whole blood manganese concentrations and liver function tests. Discontinue Tralement and consider brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) if toxicity suspected.
  • Hepatic Accumulation of Copper and Manganese: If a patient develops signs or symptoms of hepatic or biliary dysfunction during the use of Tralement, obtain serum concentrations of copper and ceruloplasmin as well as manganese whole blood concentrations. Consider using individual trace element products in patients with hepatic and/or biliary dysfunction.
  • Aluminum Toxicity: Tralement contains aluminum that may be toxic. Increased risk in patients with renal impairment. Preterm infants, including preterm neonates, are particularly at risk.
  • Monitoring and Laboratory Tests: Monitor blood zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium concentrations, fluid and electrolyte status, serum osmolarity, blood glucose, liver and kidney function, blood count, and coagulation parameters.
  • Hypersensitivity Reactions with Zinc and Copper: If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue Tralement and initiate appropriate medical treatment.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The following adverse reactions were identified in clinical studies or post-marketing reports. Given that some of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Adverse reactions with other components of parenteral nutrition solutions:

  • Pulmonary embolism due to pulmonary vascular precipitates
  • Vein damage and thrombosis
  • Aluminum toxicity

Adverse reactions with the use of trace elements administered parenterally or by other routes of administration:

  • Neurologic toxicity with manganese
  • Hepatic accumulation of copper and manganese
  • Hypersensitivity reactions with zinc and copper

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Pregnancy - Risk Summary - Deficiency of trace elements may result in adverse pregnancy and fetal outcomes.

Lactation - Risk Summary - Zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium are present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered, along with the mother’s clinical need for Tralement and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Tralement or from the underlying maternal condition.

Pediatric Use - Refer to Full Prescribing Information for dosing. Do not supplement Tralement with additional manganese. Tralement is not approved for use in pediatric patients weighing less than 10 kg because the product does not provide an adequate dosage of zinc, copper, or selenium to meet the needs of this subpopulation and exceeds the recommended dosage of manganese.

Hepatic Impairment - Hepatic accumulation of copper and manganese have been reported with long-term administration in parenteral nutrition. For patients with cholestasis, biliary dysfunction, or cirrhosis, monitor hepatic and biliary function during long-term administration of Tralement.

OVERDOSAGE - There are reports on overdosage in the literature for the individual trace elements. Management of overdosage is supportive care based on presenting signs and symptoms.

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.

Overview of Dosing

  • Prior to administration of parenteral nutrition solution containing Tralement, correct severe fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disorders.
  • The dosage of the final parenteral nutrition solution containing Tralement must be based on the concentrations of all components in the solution, the patient’s clinical condition, nutritional requirements, and the contribution of oral or enteral intake.

Tralement is recommended only for patients who require supplementation with all four of the individual trace elements (ie, zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium).

For additional safety information, please see Full Prescribing Information.

Multrys (trace elements injection 4*, USP)

*Each mL of Multrys provides zinc 1,000 mcg, copper 60 mcg, manganese 3 mcg, and selenium 6 mcg.

For intravenous use

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Multrys is a combination of trace elements (zinc sulfate, cupric sulfate, manganese sulfate, and selenious acid) indicated in neonatal and pediatric patients weighing less than 10 kg as a source of zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium for parenteral nutrition when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to zinc or copper.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Pulmonary Embolism due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates: Pulmonary vascular precipitates causing pulmonary vascular emboli and pulmonary distress have been reported in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. If signs of pulmonary distress occur, stop the parenteral nutrition infusion and initiate a medical evaluation.

Vein Damage and Thrombosis: Multrys must be prepared and used as an admixture in parenteral nutrition solution. It is not for direct intravenous infusion. In addition, consider the osmolarity of the final parenteral nutrition solution in determining peripheral versus central administration. Solution with an osmolarity of 900 mOsmol/L or greater must be infused through a central catheter. The infusion of hypertonic nutrient solution into a peripheral vein may result in vein irritation, vein damage, and/or thrombosis.

Neurologic Toxicity with Manganese: Monitor for clinical signs and symptoms of neurotoxicity, whole blood manganese concentrations, and liver function tests. Discontinue Multrys and consider brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) if toxicity is suspected. Monitor patients for cholestasis or other biliary liver disease.
