Description

Intralipid 20% is a sterile intravenous emulsion solution specifically formulated for parenteral nutrition. This 500 mL solution contains 20% soybean oil, providing a high concentration of lipids essential for patients requiring intravenous nutritional support. The emulsion is designed to supply essential fatty acids and calories when oral or enteral nutrition is not feasible.

The formulation of Intralipid 20% ensures that it delivers a substantial caloric density, making it a critical component in total parenteral nutrition regimens. The lipid emulsion is utilized to meet the energy needs of patients, support metabolic functions, and assist in the prevention of essential fatty acid deficiency.

The 500 mL container is designed for single-use and should be handled with care to maintain sterility. The solution must be infused through an appropriate intravenous access device and monitored closely for any adverse reactions or complications.

Intralipid 20% should be stored according to manufacturer guidelines, typically in a controlled environment away from light and at the specified temperature. Proper storage and handling are critical to ensuring the solution's efficacy and safety for patient use.
