Dosing overview

Manganese 0.1 mg/mL (Manganese Chloride Injection, USP) contains 0.1 mg manganese/mL and is administered intravenously only after dilution. The additive should be administered in a volume of fluid at least 100 mL. For the adult receiving TPN, the suggested additive dosage for manganese is 55 mcg/day (0.55 mL/day). Periodic monitoring of manganese plasma levels is suggested as a guideline for subsequent administration. Parenteral products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.

Warnings and precautions

Direct intramuscular or intravenous injection of Manganese 0.1 mg/mL (Manganese Chloride Injection, USP) is contraindicated as the acidic pH of the solution (pH 2.0) may cause considerable tissue irritation. Neurologic Toxicity with Manganese Manganese accumulation in the basal ganglia has been reported in adult and pediatric patients on long‑term parenteral nutrition receiving manganese at higher than recommended dosages and in association with cholestatic liver disease. Brain MRI findings and clinical symptoms have also been observed in patients who received manganese at or below the recommended dosage and with normal blood manganese concentrations. Some adult patients with brain MRI findings reportedly experienced neuropsychiatric symptoms, including changes in mood or memory, seizures and/or parkinsonian‑like tremors, dysarthria, mask-face, and halting gait.
