I’ve been prescribed Clinimix E 8% D10w Inj, 1000ml for IV nutrition as I can't eat or digest food normally. Can anyone share their experiences or provide more information about what to expect? Are the side effects as scary as they sound? Any tips for managing them if they occur?

Zinc Sulfate 3mg/ml Injection is a vital supplement used in IVs, crucial for those unable to get enough zinc through diet. It aids immune function, wound healing, and growth. But like any medication, it has potential side effects, some severe. I'm curious about the side effects and how common they truly are. Has anyone had experience with this medication? What were your encounters like?

I've been prescribed 2meq/ml Inj, 50ml of Sodium Acetate to help balance my electrolyte levels while I'm on IV nutrition. My doctor assured me it's safe, but the potential side effects listed are pretty scary. I'm especially worried about the electrolyte problems and allergic reactions. I figured I'd ask here if anyone has had any bad experiences or if it's generally well-tolerated. Also, how soon after starting the IV do side effects usually show up? I want to be prepared. I've never had any issues with IVs before, but this is my first time with something that could affect my blood chemistry so directly.
