Description

Lipofundin is a sterile, non-pyrogenic fat emulsion for intravenous administration, primarily used as a source of calories and essential fatty acids. This product is critical for providing parenteral nutrition to patients who cannot obtain adequate nourishment through oral or enteral routes. It is an indispensable component in clinical settings for patients requiring total parenteral nutrition (TPN), including those in intensive care, surgical recovery, or with malabsorption syndromes.

Application

• Parenteral Nutrition: A primary component of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimens to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency and provide a concentrated source of energy.
• Critical Care Medicine: Used in intensive care units (ICUs) to support the metabolic needs of critically ill, post-operative, or trauma patients.
• Oncology Support: Provides nutritional support for cancer patients experiencing cachexia or who are unable to maintain adequate oral intake during treatment.
• Gastrointestinal Disorders: Essential for patients with malabsorption syndromes, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or short bowel syndrome.
• Pediatric & Neonatal Care: Formulated in specific concentrations for use in pediatric and neonatal intravenous nutrition programs.
• Pre- & Post-Operative Care: Helps maintain nutritional status and support recovery in surgical patients.

Quality Control

Our Lipofundin is manufactured under strict cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) conditions, adhering to major pharmacopoeial standards such as USP and Ph. Eur. for parenteral products. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for sterility, apyrogenicity, particle size distribution, pH, osmotic pressure, and fatty acid composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in the original, unopened container. Store at controlled room temperature, typically between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Do not freeze. Protect from light.
