Efficacy & effects

Supplies essential nutrients and improves nutrition for patients unable to intake nutrition orally or via the gastrointestinal tract.

View approved original text

This medication is used for patients who cannot take nutrition orally or via the gastrointestinal tract or when intake is insufficient. It aids in improving nutritional status by supplying fluids, essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), amino acids, electrolytes, and calories via the intravenous route. This nutritional support is critical for the overall recovery of the patient's health and maintenance of strength, particularly effective for patients with limited gastrointestinal function who are unable to consume normal nutrition. This medication is used to correct nutritional imbalances and supply proper nutrition to patients.

Administration should be cautious in patients with existing conditions such as renal failure, liver dysfunction, diabetes, etc., and blood lipid and electrolyte levels should be monitored regularly. During initial administration, various adverse reactions such as fever, chills, nausea, and difficulty breathing may occur, so careful observation is required. Side effects such as hypertriglyceridemia or fatty syndrome may occur; therefore, serum triglyceride levels should be routinely checked. This medication can affect blood coagulation, so patients with coagulation disorders should be particularly cautious. Before administration, the patient's hydration, electrolyte, and acid-base balance should be improved, and blood glucose and electrolyte levels should be continuously monitored during administration. There may be interactions with other medications, so it is crucial to consult an expert when adding new medications.
