Boxed Warning:
Warnings deaths in preterm infants after infusion of intravenous fat emulsion have been reported in the medical literature 2 . autopsy findings included intravascular fat accumulation in the lungs. treatment of premature and low birth weight infants with intravenous fat emulsion must be based upon careful benefit-risk assessment. strict adherence to the recommended total daily dose is mandatory; hourly infusion rate should be as slow as possible in each case and should not in any case exceed 1 g fat/kg in four hours. premature and small for gestational age infants have poor clearance of intravenous fat emulsion and increased free fatty acid plasma levels following fat emulsion infusion; therefore, serious consideration must be given to administration of less than the maximum recommended doses in these patients in order to decrease the likelihood of intravenous fat overload. the infant's ability to eliminate the infused fat from the circulation must be carefully monitored (such as serum triglycerides and/or plasma free fatty acid levels). the lipemia must clear between daily infusions.
Indications and Usage:
Indications and usage intralipid ® 20% pharmacy bulk package is indicated for use in a pharmacy admixture program for the preparation of three-in-one or total nutrition admixtures (tnas) to provide a source of calories and essential fatty acids for patients requiring parenteral nutrition for extended periods of time (usually for more than 5 days) and a source of essential fatty acids for prevention of efad.
Dosage and Administration:
Dosage and administration intralipid 20% (a 20% i.v. fat emulsion) pharmacy bulk package should be administered only as a part of a three-in-one or total nutrient admixture via peripheral vein or by central venous infusion. directions for proper use of pharmacy bulk package. intralipid 20% pharmacy bulk package is not intended for direct infusion. the container closure may be penetrated only once using a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set which allows measured dispensing of the contents. the pharmacy bulk package is to be used only in a suitable work area such as a laminar flow hood (or an equivalent clean air compounding area). once the closure is penetrated, the contents should be dispensed as soon as possible; the transfer of contents to suitable tpn admixture containers must be completed within 4 hours of closure penetration. the bag should be stored below 25°c (77°f) after the closure has been entered. admixtures made using intralipid 20% should be used promp

Contraindications:
Contraindications intralipid is contraindicated in patients with: disturbances of normal fat metabolism such as pathologic hyperlipemia, lipoid nephrosis or acute pancreatitis if accompanied by hyperlipidemia. known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut protein, or to any of the active ingredients or excipients in intralipid 20%. intralipid 20% pharmacy bulk package is not intended for direct intravenous administration. diluting intralipid 20% to a 10% concentration with intravenous fluid such as normal saline or other diluents does not produce a dillition that is equivalent in composition to intralipid 10% i.v. fat emulsion, and such a dilution should not be given by direct intravenous administration.
Adverse Reactions:
Adverse reactions the adverse reactions observed can be separated into two classes: those more frequently encountered are due either to a) contamination of the intravenous catheter and result in sepsis, or to b) vein irritation by concurrently infused hypertonic solutions and may result in thrombophlebitis. these adverse reactions are inseparable from the hyperalimentation procedure with or without intralipid. less frequent reactions more directly related to intralipid are: a) immediate or early adverse reactions, each of which has been reported to occur in clinical trials, in an incidence of less than 1%; dyspnea, cyanosis, allergic reactions, hyperlipemia, hypercoagulability, nausea, vomiting, headache, flushing, increase in temperature, sweating, sleepiness, pain in the chest and back, slight pressure over the eyes, dizziness, and irritation at the site of infusion, and, rarely, thrombocytopenia in neonates; b) delayed adverse reactions such as hepatomegaly, jaundice due to central

Use in Pregnancy:
Pregnancy: animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with intralipid. it is also not known whether intralipid can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. intralipid should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Pediatric Use:
Pediatric use: see dosage and administration .
Overdosage:
Overdosage in the event of fat overload during therapy, stop the infusion of intralipid 20% (a 20% i.v. fat emulsion) until visual inspection of the plasma, determination of triglyceride concentrations, or measurement of plasma light-scattering activity by nephelometry indicates the lipid has cleared. re-evaluate the patient and institute appropriate corrective measures. see warnings and precautions .
Description:
Description intralipid ® 20% (a 20% i.v. fat emulsion) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic fat emulsion intended as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for use in a pharmacy admixture program. it is made up of 20% soybean oil, 1.2% egg yolk phospholipids, 2.25% glycerin, and water for injection. in addition, sodium hydroxide has been added to adjust the ph so that the final product ph is 8. ph range is 6 to 8.9. intralipid 20% pharmacy bulk package is not intended for direct infusion. it is a sterile dosage form which contains several single doses for use in preparation of three-in-one or total nutrient admixtures (tnas) in a pharmacy admixture program. the soybean oil is a refined natural product consisting of a mixture of neutral triglycerides of predominantly unsaturated fatty acids with the following structure: where are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid residues. the major component fatty acids are linoleic acid (44-62%), oleic acid (19-30%), palmitic acid (7-14%), α-linolenic acid (4-11%) and stearic acid (1.4-5.5%) 1 . these fatty acids have the following chemical and structural formulas: purified egg phosphatides are a mixture of naturally occurring phospholipids which are isolated from the egg yolk. these phospholipids have the following general structure: contain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that abound in neutral fats. r 3 is primarily either the choline or the ethanolamine ester of phosphoric acid. glycerin is chemically designated c 3 h 8 o 3 and is a clear colorless, hygroscopic syrupy liquid. it has the following structural formula: intralipid 20% (a 20% i.v. fat emulsion) has an osmolality of approximately 350 mosmol/kg water (which represents 260 mosmol/l of emulsion) and contains emulsified fat particles of approximately 0.5 micron size. the total caloric value, including fat, phospholipid and glycerin, is 2.0 kcal per ml of intralipid 20%. the phospholipids present contribute 47 milligrams or approximately 1.5 mmol of phosphorus per 100 ml of the emulsion. the primary plastic container (biofine tm ) is made from multilayered film specifically designed for parenteral nutrition drug products. the film is polypropylene based comprising three co-extruded layers. it contains no plasticizers and exhibits virtually no leachables. the container does not contain dehp (di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) or pvc. this product is not made with natural rubber latex. the container is nontoxic and biologically inert. the container-emulsion unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration. the container is overwrapped to provide protection from the physical environment and to provide an additional moisture barrier when necessary. figure figure figure figure figure figure figure
Clinical Pharmacology:
Clinical pharmacology intralipid is metabolized and utilized as a source of energy causing an increase in heat production, decrease in respiratory quotient and increase in oxygen consumption. the infused fat particles are cleared from the blood stream in a manner thought to be comparable to the clearing of chylomicrons. intralipid will prevent the biochemical lesions of essential fatty acid deficiency (efad) and correct the clinical manifestations of the efad syndrome.
Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis and Impairment of Fertility:
Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility: studies with intralipid have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential, mutagenic potential, or effects on fertility.
