DESCRIPTION
Copper 0.4 mg/mL (Cupric Chloride Injection, USP) is a sterile,
nonpyrogenic solution
intended for use as an additive to intravenous solutions for total
parenteral nutrition
(TPN). Each mL of solution contains 1.07 mg cupric chloride, dihydrate
and 9 mg sodium
chloride.
The solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added
buffer. The pH is 2.0
(1.5 to 2.5); product may contain hydrochloric acid and sodium
hydroxide for pH
adjustment. The osmolarity is 0.327 mOsmol/mL (calc.).
Cupric chloride, USP is chemically designated cupric chloride,
dihydrate (CuCl
• 2H O), a
crystalline compound freely soluble in water.
Sodium Chloride, USP is chemically designated NaCl, a white
crystalline compound freely
soluble in water.
The semi-rigid vial is fabricated from a specially formulated
polyolefin. It is a copolymer of
ethylene and propylene. The safety of the plastic has been confirmed
by tests in animals
according to USP biological standards for plastic containers. The
small amount of water
vapor that can pass through the plastic container wall will not
significantly alter the drug
concentration.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Copper is an essential nutrient which serves as a cofactor for serum
ceruloplasmin, an
oxidase necessary for proper formation of the iron carrier protein,
transferrin. Copper
also helps maintain normal rates of red and white blood cell
formation.
Providing copper during TPN helps prevent development of the following
deficiency
symptoms: Leukopenia, neutropenia, anemia, depressed ceruloplasmin
levels, impaired
transferrin formation, secondary iron deficiency and osteoporosis.
Normal serum copper values range from 80 to 163 mcg/dl (mean,
approximately 110
mcg/dl). The serum copper level at which deficiency symptoms appear is
not precisely
defined. A serum value of 9 mcg copper/dl was reported for one TPN
patient who
