What does it do?

Refined olive oil is a pure vegetable oil from which impurities have been removed from olive oil. It is primarily used as a solvent for lipid-soluble drugs in injectable preparations, aiding in the absorption of the drug within the body. It is included in medications related to blood and hematopoietic organs.

Refined olive oil dissolves the lipid-soluble components of drugs, creating a stable injection solution. This helps ensure that the drug distributes evenly in the body and functions effectively. Additionally, as a safe component for the human body, it reduces irritation when injected.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
