DESCRIPTION
Chromium 4 mcg/mL (Chromic Chloride Injection, USP) is a sterile,
nonpyrogenic solution intended for
use as an additive to intravenous solutions for total parenteral
nutrition (TPN). Each mL of solution
contains 20.5 mcg chromic chloride, hexahydrate and 9 mg sodium
chloride. The solution contains no
bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent, or added buffer. The pH is 2.0 (1.5
to 2.5); product may contain
hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment. The
osmolarity is 0.308 mOsm/mL
(calc.).
Chromic Chloride, USP is chemically designated chromic chloride,
hexahydrate CrCl3• 6H2O, a
crystalline compound soluble in water.
Sodium Chloride, USP is chemically designated NaCl, a white,
crystalline compound freely soluble in
water.
The semi-rigid vial is fabricated from a specially formulated
polyolefin. It is a copolymer of ethylene
and propylene. The safety of the plastic has been confirmed by tests
in animals according to USP
biological standards for plastic containers. The small amount of water
vapor that can pass through the
plastic container wall will not significantly alter the drug
concentration.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Trivalent chromium is part of glucose tolerance factor, an essential
activator of insulin-mediated
reactions. Chromium helps to maintain normal glucose metabolism and
peripheral nerve function.
Providing chromium during TPN helps prevent deficiency symptoms
including impaired glucose
tolerance, ataxia, peripheral neuropathy and a confusional state
similar to mild/moderate hepatic
encephalopathy.
Serum chromium is bound to transferrin (siderophilin) in the beta
globulin fraction. Typical blood
levels for chromium range from 1 to 5 mcg/liter, but blood levels are
not considered a meaningful index
of tissue stores.
