This formulation is indicated for use as a supplement to intravenous solutions given for TPN. Administration of the solution in TPN solutions helps to maintain plasma levels of zinc, copper, manganese, selenium and chromium and to prevent depletion of endogenous stores of these trace elements and subsequent deficiency symptoms.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
ZINC has been identified as a cofactor for over 70 different enzymes,
including alkaline phosphatase,
lactic dehydrogenase and both RNA and DNA polymerase. Zinc facilitates
wound healing, helps
maintain normal growth rates, normal skin hydration and senses of
taste and smell.
Providing zinc during TPN prevents development of the following
deficiency symptoms: parakeratosis,
hypogeusia, anorexia, dysosmia, geophagia, hypogonadism, growth
retardation and
hepatosplenomegaly. At plasma levels below 20 mcg zinc/100 mL,
dermatitis followed by alopecia has
been reported for TPN patients.
COPPER is essential 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. Scorbutic type bone changes seen in
infants fed exclusively with copper-
