LIPOFUNDIN MCT-LCT 20% INFUSION 100 ML BOTTLE

LIPOFUNDIN MCT-LCT 20% Infusion: Comprehensive Parenteral Nutrition

LIPOFUNDIN MCT-LCT 20% Infusion is an advanced intravenous lipid emulsion designed to provide essential energy and fatty acids for patients who are unable to receive adequate nutrition orally or enterally. This sterile, pyrogen-free emulsion, available in a 100 ML bottle, is a vital component of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimens, supporting metabolic needs and promoting recovery.

Benefits of Use:

LIPOFUNDIN MCT-LCT 20% offers several key advantages for patients requiring nutritional support:
Provides a concentrated source of energy from both medium-chain (MCT) and long-chain (LCT) triglycerides.
Delivers essential fatty acids (linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid) crucial for cell membrane integrity and various physiological functions.
Helps to prevent and treat essential fatty acid deficiency.
Supports metabolic processes and maintains a positive nitrogen balance, especially in critically ill patients.
Designed for good tolerability and utilization within the body.

How to Use:

LIPOFUNDIN MCT-LCT 20% Infusion is for intravenous administration only. It must be administered by healthcare professionals experienced in parenteral nutrition, typically in a hospital or clinical setting. The dosage and infusion rate are determined by the patient's individual needs, age, body weight, metabolic state, and energy requirements.

1. 1. Ensure aseptic technique during preparation and administration.
2. 2. The emulsion should be allowed to reach room temperature before administration if stored in a cool place.
3. 3. Inspect the bottle for any signs of damage or visible particulate matter; do not use if observed.
4. 4. Administer via a peripheral or central vein, using an appropriate infusion system with a final filter.
5. 5. The infusion rate should be adjusted carefully, starting slowly and gradually increasing, under close medical supervision.
6. 6. Monitor patient's fluid balance, electrolytes, blood glucose, liver function, and triglyceride levels regularly during infusion.

Caution & Warnings:

Administer LIPOFUNDIN MCT-LCT 20% with caution and under strict medical supervision.

• Do not administer to patients with known hypersensitivity to egg or soy proteins, or any component of the emulsion.
• Contraindicated in cases of severe hyperlipidemia, severe liver insufficiency, severe blood coagulation disorders, and severe shock.
• Monitor for signs of fat overload syndrome, which can occur with excessive doses or rapid infusion rates. Symptoms include fever, chills, abdominal pain, and abnormal liver function tests.
• Exercise caution in patients with pulmonary insufficiency, renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, or conditions causing electrolyte imbalance.
• Compatibility with other solutions or medications administered simultaneously must be checked to avoid precipitation or destabilization of the emulsion.
• Not recommended for use in neonates and infants due to limited data.
