Mix of 5 Trace Elements
Indications
JUNIMIN is used as part of the intravenous nutrition of preterm and term newborns, infants and children.
It is intended to meet the basal requirements for trace elements.
This medication is a solution of glucose and electrolytes (mineral salts).
Pharmacology
Junimin is a sterile parenteral nutrition solution designed for intravenous administration. It is primarily used in patients who are unable to obtain adequate nutrition through oral or enteral routes. Junimin is a parenteral nutrition solution, meaning it provides essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal system. The nutrients in Junimin are metabolized by the body to provide:
Energy through glucose.
Protein synthesis and tissue repair via amino acids.
Cellular structure and function via lipids and fatty acids.
Metabolic regulation and maintenance of physiological functions through vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes.
Junimin supports vital physiological processes such as immune function, cellular repair, and the generation of energy from stored nutrients.
