Selenium (Yeast):
Rx Only
TRACE ELEMENT ADDITIVE FOR IV USE AFTER DILUTION
Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) Injection is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution for use as an additive to solutions for Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN).
Each mL contains Selenious Acid 65.4 mcg (equivalent to elemental Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) 40 mcg/mL) and Water for Injection q.s. pH may be adjusted with nitric acid to 1.8 to 2.4.
Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) is part of glutathione peroxidase which protects cell components from oxidative damage due to peroxides produced in cellular metabolism.
Prolonged TPN support in humans has resulted in Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) deficiency symptoms which include muscle pain and tenderness. The symptoms have been reported to respond to supplementation of TPN solutions with Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)).
Pediatric conditions, Keshan disease, and Kwashiorkor, have been associated with low dietary intake of Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)). The conditions are endemic to geographical areas with low Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) soil content. Dietary supplementation with Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) salts has been reported to reduce the incidence of the conditions among affected children.
Normal blood levels of Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) in different human populations have been found to vary and depend on the Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) content of the food consumed. Results of surveys carried out in some countries are tabulated below:

Plasma Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) levels of 0.3 and 0.9 mcg/100 mL have been reported to produce deficiency symptoms in humans.
Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) is eliminated primarily in urine. However, significant endogenous losses through feces also occur. The rate of excretion and the relative importance of two routes varies with the chemical form of Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) used in supplementation. Ancillary routes of elimination are lungs and skin.
Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) Injection is indicated for use as a supplement to intravenous solutions given for total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Administration of Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) in TPN solutions helps to maintain plasma Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) levels and to prevent depletion of endogenous stores and subsequent deficiency symptoms.
Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) Injection should not be given undiluted by direct injection into a peripheral vein because of the potential for infusion phlebitis.
Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) Injection can be toxic if given in excessive amounts. Supplementation of TPN solution with Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) should be immediately discontinued if toxicity symptoms are observed. Frequent determination of plasma Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) levels during TPN support and close medical supervision is recommended.
Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) Injection is a hypotonic solution and should be administered in admixtures only.
This product contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which contain aluminum.
Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.
As Procutane ) is eliminated in urine and feces, Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) supplements may be adjusted, reduced or omitted in renal dysfunction and/or gastrointestinal malfunction. In patients receiving blood transfusions, contribution from such transfusions should also be considered. Frequent Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) plasma level determinations are suggested as a guideline.
In animals, Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) has been reported to enhance the action of Vitamin E and decrease the toxicity of mercury, cadmium and arsenic.
Pregnancy Category C: Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) at high dose levels (15-30 mcg/egg) has been reported to have adverse embryological effects among chickens. There are however, no adequate and wellcontrolled studies in pregnant women. Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) Injection should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Presence of Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) in placenta and umbilical cord blood has been reported in humans.
The amount of Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) present in Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) Injection is small. Symptoms of toxicity from Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) are unlikely to occur at the recommended dosage level.
Chronic toxicity in humans resulting from exposure to Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) in industrial environments, intake of foods grown in seleniferous soils, use of selenium-contaminated water, and application of cosmetics containing Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) has been reported in literature. Toxicity symptoms include hair loss, weakened nails, dermatitis, dental defects, gastrointestinal disorders, nervousness, mental depression, metallic taste, vomiting, and garlic odor of breath and sweat. Acute poisoning due to ingestion of large amounts of Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) compounds has resulted in death with histopathological changes including fulminating peripheral vascular collapse, internal vascular congestion, diffusely hemorrhagic, congested and edematus lungs, brick-red color gastric mucosa. The death was preceded by coma.
No effective antidote to Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) poisoning in humans is known. Animal studies have shown casein and linseed oil in feeds, reduced glutathione, arsenic, magnesium sulfate, and bromobenzene to afford limited protection.
Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) Injection provides 40 mcg selenium/mL. For metabolically stable adults receiving TPN, the suggested additive dosage level is 20 to 40 mcg selenium/day. For pediatric patients, the suggested additive dosage level is 3 mcg/kg/day.
In adults, Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) deficiency states resulting from long-term TPN support, Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) as selenomethionine or selenious acid, administered intravenously at 100 mcg/day for a period of 24 and 31 days, respectively, has been reported to reverse deficiency symptoms without toxicity.
Aseptic addition of Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) Injection to the TPN solution under laminar flow hood is recommended. Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) is physically compatible with the electrolytes and other trace elements usually present in amino-acid/dextrose solution used for TPN. Frequent monitoring of plasma Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) levels is suggested as a guideline for subsequent administration. The normal whole blood range for Procutane (Selenium (Yeast)) is approximately 10 to 37 mcg/100 mL.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration, whenever solution and container permit.

Vitamin E:
Indication: Procutane (Vitamin E), known for its antioxidant activities, is protective against cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer and has also demonstrated immune-enhancing effects. It may be of limited benefit in some with asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. It may be helpful in some neurological diseases including Alzheimer's, some eye disorders including cataracts, and diabetes and premenstrual syndrome. It may also help protect skin from ultraviolet irradiation although claims that it reverses skin aging, enhances male fertility and exercise performance are poorly supported. It may help relieve some muscle cramps.
Procutane (Vitamin E) has antioxidant activity. It may also have anti-atherogenic, antithrombotic, anticoagulant, neuroprotective, antiviral, immunomodulatory, cell membrane-stabilizing and antiproliferative actions. Procutane (Vitamin E) is a collective term used to describe eight separate forms, the best-known form being alpha-tocopherol. Procutane (Vitamin E) is a fat-soluble vitamin and is an important antioxidant. It acts to protect cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body's metabolism. Procutane (Vitamin E) is often used in skin creams and lotions because it is believed to play a role in encouraging skin healing and reducing scarring after injuries such as burns. There are three specific situations when a Procutane (Vitamin E) deficiency is likely to occur. It is seen in persons who cannot absorb dietary fat, has been found in premature, very low birth weight infants (birth weights less than 1500 grams, or 3½ pounds), and is seen in individuals with rare disorders of fat metabolism. A Procutane (Vitamin E) deficiency is usually characterized by neurological problems due to poor nerve conduction. Symptoms may include infertility, neuromuscular impairment, menstrual problems, miscarriage and uterine degradation. Preliminary research has led to a widely held belief that Procutane (Vitamin E) may help prevent or delay coronary heart disease. Antioxidants such as Procutane (Vitamin E) help protect against the damaging effects of free radicals, which may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer. It also protects other fat-soluble vitamins (A and B group vitamins) from destruction by oxygen. Low levels of Procutane (Vitamin E) have been linked to increased incidence of breast and colon cancer.
Zinc:
Procutane (Zinc) 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) is indicated for use as a supplement to intravenous solutions given for TPN. Administration helps to maintain Procutane (Zinc) serum levels and to prevent depletion of endogenous stores, and subsequent deficiency symptoms.
None known.
Direct intramuscular or intravenous injection of Procutane (Zinc) 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) is contraindicated as the acidic pH of the solution (2) may cause considerable tissue irritation.
Severe kidney disease may make it necessary to reduce or omit chromium and Procutane (Zinc) doses because these elements are primarily eliminated in the urine.
WARNING: This product contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which contain aluminum.
Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.
Do not use unless the solution is clear and the seal is intact.
Zinc 1 mg/mL should only be used in conjunction with a pharmacy directed admixture program using aseptic technique in a laminar flow environment; it should be used promptly and in a single operation without any repeated penetrations. Solution contains no preservatives; discard unused portion immediately after admixture procedure is completed.
Zinc should not be given undiluted by direct injection into a peripheral vein because of the likelihood of infusion phlebitis and the potential for increased excretory loss of Procutane (Zinc) from a bolus injection. Administration of Procutane (Zinc) in the absence of copper may cause a decrease in serum copper levels.
Periodic determinations of serum copper as well as Procutane (Zinc) are suggested as a guideline for subsequent Procutane (Zinc) administration.
Long-term animal studies to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of Procutane 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) have not been performed, nor have studies been done to assess mutagenesis or impairment of fertility.
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Procutane (Zinc) 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) is administered to a nursing woman.
Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Procutane chloride. It is also not known whether Procutane (Zinc) chloride can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Procutane (Zinc) chloride should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
An evaluation of current literature revealed no clinical experience identifying differences in response between elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
None known.
None known.
Single intravenous doses of 1 to 2 mg zinc/kg body weight have been given to adult leukemic patients without toxic manifestations. However, acute toxicity was reported in an adult when 10 mg Procutane (Zinc) was infused over a period of one hour on each of four consecutive days. Profuse sweating, decreased level of consciousness, blurred vision, tachycardia (140/min), and marked hypothermia (94.2° F) on the fourth day were accompanied by a serum Procutane (Zinc) concentration of 207 mcg/dl. Symptoms abated within three hours.
Hyperamylasemia may be a sign of impending Procutane (Zinc) overdosage; patients receiving an inadvertent overdose (25 mg zinc/liter of TPN solution, equivalent to 50 to 70 mg zinc/day) developed hyperamylasemia (557 to 1850 Klein units; normal: 130 to 310).
Death resulted from an overdosage in which 1683 mg Procutane (Zinc) was delivered intravenously over the course of 60 hours to a 72 year old patient.
Symptoms of Procutane (Zinc) toxicity included hypotension (80/40 mm Hg), pulmonary edema, diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice, and oliguria, with a serum Procutane (Zinc) level of 4184 mcg/dl.
Calcium supplements may confer a protective effect against Procutane (Zinc) toxicity.
Procutane (Zinc) 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) contains 1 mg zinc/mL and is administered intravenously only after dilution. The additive should be diluted prior to administration in a volume of fluid not less than 100 mL. For the metabolically stable adult receiving TPN, the suggested intravenous dosage is 2.5 to 4 mg zinc/day (2.5 to 4 mL/day). An additional 2 mg zinc/day (2 mL/day) is suggested for acute catabolic states. For the stable adult with fluid loss from the small bowel, an additional 12.2 mg zinc/liter of small bowel fluid lost (12.2 mL/liter of small bowel fluid lost), or an additional 17.1 mg zinc/kg of stool or ileostomy output (17.1 mL/kg of stool or ileostomy output) is recommended. Frequent monitoring of Procutane (Zinc) blood levels is suggested for patients receiving more than the usual maintenance dosage level of Procutane (Zinc).
For full term infants and children up to 5 years of age, 100 mcg zinc/kg/day (0.1 mL/kg/day) is recommended. For premature infants (birth weight less than 1500 g) up to 3 kg in body weight, 300 mcg zinc/kg/day (0.3 mL/kg/day) is suggested.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. See PRECAUTIONS.
Procutane (Zinc) 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) is supplied in 10 mL Plastic Vials (List No. 4090).
Store at 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F).

Depending on the reaction of the Procutane after taken, if you are feeling dizziness, drowsiness or any weakness as a reaction on your body, Then consider Procutane not safe to drive or operate heavy machine after consumption. Meaning that, do not drive or operate heavy duty machines after taking the capsule if the capsule has a strange reaction on your body like dizziness, drowsiness. As prescribed by a pharmacist, it is dangerous to take alcohol while taking medicines as it exposed patients to drowsiness and health risk. Please take note of such effect most especially when taking Primosa capsule. It's advisable to consult your doctor on time for a proper recommendation and medical consultations.
Is Procutane addictive or habit forming?Medicines are not designed with the mind of creating an addiction or abuse on the health of the users. Addictive Medicine is categorically called Controlled substances by the government. For instance, Schedule H or X in India and schedule II-V in the US are controlled substances.
Please consult the medicine instruction manual on how to use and ensure it is not a controlled substance.In conclusion, self medication is a killer to your health. Consult your doctor for a proper prescription, recommendation, and guidiance.
