Indications :
Treatment of hepatic encephalopathy in patients with chronic liver disease.
Dosage and Administration :
Adult : 500 – 1000 mL by intravenous drip infusion. The usual peripheral infusion rate is 500 mL over 180-300 minutes in adult ( approx. 25-40 drops per minute ).

Contra Indications :
Patients with severe renal disorder (the amount of water tends to be excessive and the patients clinical condition may be worsened. Urea and other amino acid metabolites may be retained, which may worsen the patients clinical condition )
Patients with abnormal amino acid metabolism (since the infused amino acids are not adequately metabolized, the patient’s clinical condition may be worsened)
Precaution :
Careful administration in patients with severe acidosis and congestive heart failure.
