Description

Intralipid is a sterile, non-pyrogenic fat emulsion for intravenous administration, primarily composed of soybean oil, egg phospholipids, and glycerin. It serves as a critical source of essential fatty acids and a concentrated source of calories for patients requiring parenteral nutrition. This product is vital for hospitals, clinical nutrition providers, and compounding pharmacies to support patients who cannot meet their nutritional needs through the gastrointestinal tract.

Application

• Parenteral Nutrition (PN): As a key component of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimens to provide essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acid) and high-density calories.
• Caloric Supplementation: For patients with increased metabolic demands, malabsorption, or severe malnutrition where oral or enteral intake is insufficient.
• Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency (EFAD) Prevention/Treatment: To prevent or correct biochemical and clinical signs of EFAD in patients on long-term fat-free parenteral nutrition.
• Drug Delivery Vehicle: Used as a lipid-based vehicle in the formulation and delivery of certain lipophilic drugs.
• Medical Compounding: As a base emulsion for the preparation of specialized parenteral admixtures in hospital pharmacies.
• Critical Care and Surgical Support: Provides vital nutritional support for critically ill, postoperative, or trauma patients.

Quality Control

Our Intralipid is manufactured under strict cGMP conditions, adhering to major pharmacopoeial standards such as USP and EP. Each batch undergoes comprehensive testing for critical parameters including sterility, pyrogens, particulate matter, fatty acid composition, particle size distribution (globule size), pH, and stability. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting full compliance with release specifications is provided with every shipment.

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. Once the container is entered, use promptly according to established aseptic guidelines. Do not use if there is evidence of phase separation or oiling out.
