This medication should not be used in certain patients. Individuals who have allergic reactions to this medication or have allergies to soybean oil, soy, or peanuts should not take this medication. Additionally, patients with lipid metabolism issues such as hyperlipoproteinemia, diabetic dyslipidemia, or pancreatitis should use this medication cautiously. Caution is also needed when using lipid emulsions together. This medication may cause temporary side effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or changes in body odor. Rarely, allergic reactions such as rash, hives, or facial swelling may occur. Particularly, patients with reduced kidney function may experience symptoms of muscle weakness, so caution is advised. For patients at risk of lipid overload, it is recommended to regularly check blood lipid levels during the use of this medication. If lipid excretion is insufficient, the dosage should be adjusted, and when using other lipid solutions concurrently, the amount should be reduced considering lipid content. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been fully established. Furthermore, it is unclear whether this medication is secreted in breast milk, so caution should be exercised while breastfeeding.
