Questions & Answers
Side Effects & Adverse Reactions
WARNING: 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.
Sensitization to iodides and deaths due to anaphylactic shock following iodide administration have been reported. The physician must evaluate the patient for hypersensitivity before initiating TPN supplementation with Iodopen.
Iodopen is a hypotonic solution and should be administered in admixtures only.

Iodopen provides 100 mcg iodine per mL. For the metabolically stable adults receiving TPN, the suggested dosage level is 1 to 2 mcg iodine/kg/day (normal adults 75-150 mcg daily). For pregnant and lactating mothers and growing children, the suggested additive level is 2 to 3 mcg iodine/kg/day. Aseptic addition of Iodopen to TPN solutions under a laminar flow hood is recommended. Iodine is physically compatible with electrolytes and other trace elements usually present in amino-acid/dextrose solutions used for TPN.
Periodic monitoring of thyroid function is suggested as a guideline for adjusting dosage level.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
