Product Description:

GLUTADEL® – LG Injection is a sterile, pyrogen-free solution of L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, a stable dipeptide formulation that serves as a physiologically relevant source of glutamine, especially useful in critically ill patients.

Glutamine is an essential amino acid during metabolic stress and plays a central role in immune function, intestinal barrier integrity, nitrogen balance, and wound healing. However, in states of trauma, sepsis, burns, or surgery, endogenous glutamine levels are rapidly depleted — making supplementation essential.

This dipeptide form ensures enhanced stability, higher bioavailability, and safe intravenous administration in ICU and high-dependency settings.

Key Benefits:

• Supports immune system function during stress

• Maintains gut mucosal integrity, reducing bacterial translocation

• Aids in nitrogen transport and muscle preservation

• Accelerates post-operative recovery and wound healing

• Reduces infection risk and shortens ICU stay

---

How It Works:

L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine is enzymatically cleaved in the body to release L-Alanine and L-Glutamine, both of which are critical for cellular repair, protein synthesis, and energy production.

The infusion helps replenish depleted glutamine stores in muscle and gut tissue, supporting both metabolic balance and recovery during illness or after major surgery.

How to Use:

• Administer via slow intravenous infusion as per the physician’s instructions

• Dosage typically ranges from 0.3 to 0.5g/kg/day, depending on clinical condition

• Can be administered alone or mixed with parenteral nutrition (TPN)

• Use only under strict medical supervision in hospital or ICU settings

---

Safety Advice:

• Monitor serum electrolytes and renal function regularly

• Not for direct injection – must be diluted or infused slowly

• Use cautiously in patients with hepatic or renal impairment

• Do not use if the solution is discolored or contains particles

---

Precautions:

• Avoid use in patients with amino acid metabolism disorders

• Should not be mixed with drugs other than those approved for compatibility

• Once opened, use the solution immediately

• Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Do not freeze.
