Uses
NutreStore® [L-glutamine powder for oral solution] is indicated for the treatment of Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) in patients receiving specialized nutritional support when used in conjunction with a recombinant human growth hormone that is approved for this indication [see Dosage and Administration (2)].
NutreStore and recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy should be used in conjunction with optimal management of SBS. Optimal management of SBS may include a specialized oral diet, enteral feedings, parenteral nutrition, fluid and micronutrient supplements. A specialized oral diet may consist of a high carbohydrate, low-fat diet, adjusted for individual patient requirements and preferences.
Routine monitoring of renal and hepatic function is recommended in patients receiving NutreStore and intravenous parenteral nutrition (IPN), particularly in those with renal or hepatic impairment. Glutamine is metabolized to glutamate and ammonia, which may increase in patients with hepatic dysfunction.
The safety and efficacy of NutreStore have not been studied beyond 16 weeks of treatment.
