Description

Smoflipid 20% 250 mL Bag is a lipid emulsion used in parenteral nutrition to provide essential fatty acids and energy to patients who are unable to meet their nutritional needs through oral intake. It is designed to support patients in critical care or those with compromised gastrointestinal function, ensuring adequate energy supply and improving overall nutritional status.

The composition of Smoflipid includes a balanced mixture of long-chain triglycerides (LCT), medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), olive oil, and fish oil. This combination provides both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.The inclusion of fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, is beneficial in reducing inflammatory markers and supporting cardiovascular health.

Smoflipid 20% is intended for intravenous infusion and is often administered under strict medical supervision in hospital settings. It is typically used in conjunction with other nutritional support components to ensure a comprehensive approach to managing nutritional deficiencies in critically ill patients.
