Questions & Answers
Side Effects & Adverse Reactions
This product contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which contain aluminum.
Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.

Cupric Sulfate Injection, USP provides 0.4 mg copper/mL. For the metabolically stable adult receiving TPN, the suggested additive dosage level is 0.5 to 1.5 mg copper/day. For pediatric patients, the suggested additive dosage level is 20 mcg copper/kg/day.
Aseptic addition of Cupric Sulfate Injection, USP to the TPN solution under a laminar flow hood is recommended. Copper is physically compatible with the electrolytes and vitamins usually present in the amino acid/dextrose solution used for TPN. Weekly monitoring of copper plasma levels is suggested as a guideline for subsequent administration. The normal plasma range for copper is approximately 80 to 160 mcg/100 mL.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration, whenever solution and container permit.
Use in PregnancySafety for use in pregnancy has not been established. Use of copper in women of childbearing potential requires that anticipated benefits be weighed against possible hazards.
