Efficacy & effects

Improvement of essential fatty acid supply in patients requiring parenteral nutrition

View approved original text

This medication provides fats that include essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids for patients who are unable to obtain nutrition orally or via the gastrointestinal tract. It helps improve the nutritional status of patients and prevents deficiencies of essential fatty acids. These fatty acids, which cannot be synthesized in the body, are crucial for cellular functions and overall health maintenance. By supplementing fats, it also contributes to normal metabolic functions and immune enhancement. Therefore, it is used as a stable source of fat for patients requiring parenteral nutrition.

How it is given

Adult administration

The dosage for adults should be adjusted appropriately according to patient needs. The daily dose is administered at a rate of 0.7-1.5g/kg as fat per body weight. The maximum daily dose is 2.0g/kg as fat per body weight. The administration rate should be at the lowest possible rate, up to a maximum of 0.15g fat/kg/hour (0.75mL/kg/hour). For the first 15 minutes, administer at 50% of the maximum administration rate.

Precautions

This medication should be used cautiously in premature or low-birth-weight infants, as it may increase plasma free fatty acid levels. It should not be administered to patients with certain conditions such as severe hyperlipidemia, blood clotting disorders, severely impaired liver or kidney function, acute myocardial infarction or stroke. Patients with allergies to eggs, fish, soy protein, soybean oil, peanuts, etc., should also avoid it. Careful administration is required for patients with lipid metabolism disorders such as hyperlipoproteinemia or diabetic dyslipidemia, and pancreatitis. Rare side effects may include abnormalities in blood coagulation, hypersensitivity reactions, hyperlipidemia, drowsiness, blood pressure changes, respiratory distress, nausea, headaches, and others. If adverse reactions occur or if plasma triglyceride levels rise above a certain threshold, discontinuation or dosage adjustment is necessary. This medication should be part of a complete intravenous nutrition regimen including amino acids and glucose, as its standalone use may cause metabolic acidosis. Regular monitoring of serum triglycerides, blood glucose, electrolytes, fluid balance, and liver function is required during administration. Caution is needed for overdose as fatty overload syndrome may occur; in such cases, administration should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment provided. The safety of this medication during pregnancy or lactation has not been sufficiently verified, thus it should be used with caution. This medication does not affect driving or operating machinery. Prior to administration, check that the medication is homogeneous and not deteriorated; store in a sealed container out of reach of children in a cool place.
