Because of the increased risk of microbiological contamination and incompatibilities, amino acid solutions should not be mixed with other drugs. Should it become necessary to add other nutrients like carbohydrates, lipid emulsions, electrolytes, vitamins or trace elements to Amino Acid 8% for complete nutrition, care should be given to hygienic admixing, good blending and, in particular, to compatibility.
