Description

Lipofundin S is a specialized, injectable lipid emulsion used as a source of essential fatty acids and a concentrated source of energy for parenteral nutrition. It is a critical component in clinical settings for patients who cannot receive adequate nutrition through the gastrointestinal tract. This product is primarily utilized in hospital pharmacies and clinical nutrition for patients requiring total parenteral nutrition (TPN), such as those in intensive care, post-operative recovery, or with malabsorption syndromes.

Application

• Parenteral Nutrition Formulations: As a key component in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) admixtures to provide essential fatty acids and calories.
• Clinical Nutrition Support: For patients in intensive care units (ICU) or those undergoing major surgery who require intravenous nutritional support.
• Management of Malabsorption: For patients with conditions like short bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, or other severe gastrointestinal disorders preventing adequate enteral intake.
• Pediatric and Neonatal Care: In specialized formulations to support the growth and development of infants and children who cannot be fed orally.
• Oncology Support: To help maintain nutritional status and body weight in cancer patients, particularly during chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
• Compounding Pharmacy: Used by hospital and compounding pharmacies to prepare customized parenteral nutrition bags under aseptic conditions.

Quality Control

Our Lipofundin S is manufactured under strict cGMP conditions, ensuring it meets the highest standards for injectable pharmaceuticals. Quality is assured through rigorous testing for critical parameters including particle size distribution (to prevent fat overload syndrome), sterility, endotoxin levels, and fatty acid composition. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying compliance with relevant pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP, Ph. Eur.) and internal specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature, typically between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not freeze. As the product is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), the integrity of the primary container is paramount. Keep away from heat and ignition sources.
